There's no Planet B: A 101 on The Climate Crisis

Why are we in a climate emergency? In our new monthly series, There's no Planet B, we want to share everything you need to know about the climate crisis, first by discussing the basics of climate change science, but then to also show how you can take action. In this first episode, we do a 101 crash course on the causes of climate change, with Dr. Sheeba Nettukandy Chenoli, a meteorologist, who is also a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Geography, at the University of Malaya. Dr Sheeba is also part of the team behind Bite-Size Climate Action, which is a series of fun, flexible, and immersive short online modules designed by experts in the conservation field, to inspire Malaysian youth to act for the climate.
