Climate science explained for non-scientistsEveryone knows that CO2 emissions are the main culprits of climate change and raising the global temperature, which leads to biodiversity loss, sea-level changes and more extreme weather conditions.

In the fifth episode of The Cooler Future Podcast, our host Miia Laine interviews Kasia Tokarska – member of the Cooler Future sustainable committee, climate data scientist and postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich – to explain climate science for non-scientists.
