Summary: <p>Can we truly draw definitive conclusions, without overlooking the complexity of this snapshot? Is our understanding of man-made climate change evolving, or are we merely scratching the surface?</p> <p>Your co-hosts Stuart and William once again delve into and explore a question sent in by a listener, with today’s coming in from Guy in Grove City, Ohio, USA. His question is as follows:</p> <p>“I saw a report in August 2022 that some parts of the coral reef that makes up The Great Barrier Reef in Australia has recovered, so it covers a wider area than it has for at least 30 years. Is the evidence that the decrease in coral over recent years has nothing to do with so-called man made climate change?”</p> <p>Without concrete facts at hand, your co hosts navigate through the challenges of discussing a topic as vast as climate change. They question the assumption that man-made climate change is an irreversible reality, considering the various factors at play. They go on to explore the realm of coral populations, and find themselves pondering: where exactly have the increases in coral population occurred, and why? Together with how are our studies and data interpretation evolving and is longer term understanding impacting the interpretation of the data we have?</p> <p>Stuart and William aren’t experts on most of the topics explored in these podcast episodes, but they explore them to the edge of their understanding. This question today is one of those that talks them to their limit.</p> <p>During this episode Stuart and William discuss the upcoming Environmental Debate Live & Unscripted event, this podcasts format expanded and made more experiential, then set in front of a live audience, and arranged to take place next on May 27th at the former Bothy Vineyard in Oxfordshire 3.30pm to 9pm.
