The Climate Reality Project was founded by former US Vice President Al Gore to move forward the conversation on climate change and turn awareness into action globally. But what is the state of the so-called climate crisis today? And how does human activity contribute to that issue? In today’s show, my guest answers those questions and we go back to basics and try to understand the science behind Greenhouse gas emissions and how it impacts us.
