About this listen

Australia's favourite science guru explains the facts about climate change – and how we can fix it.

Is the planet reeeeeally warming up? But carbon's natural, isn't it? How could planes fly without fossil fuels? What's a pteropod and why should I care? Kelp? How can it help?

One of Dr Karl Kruszelnicki's jobs as Australia's most popular science communicator is to answer people's questions about climate change.

Now, in this never dull, easy-to-understand guide Dr Karl explains the science of climate change and how we can fix it (we can!). So when your uncle says (again) that it's a load of hooey (or an illuminati conspiracy), you can keep your cool and talk like a boss about why it's getting hotter and what we can do about it.

I love Dr Karl and his quirky science but he hits this topic bang on for the average person . . . Like me. A call to arms and a real wake up for all of us. The pier of one (one person, one household, one decision, one business and more) is powerful indeed. But that power is in the doing. Let’s (all) get to it. Great read.

The perfect wake-up

This book provides a quick and clear understanding of the facts. it highlights the need to take action based on facts. This book has informed me, educated me, and inspired me to step up and do more. I'm going to do my best to help big fossil fuel companies to start paying back their fair share for the damage they have caused and start fixing the problems they are responsible for. I'm going to stop thinking it's someone all my fault that the planet is dying, now that I know that actually "carbon footprints" was invented by big fossil fuel and is actually a type of victim blaming. I am so sick of being lied to and mislead so some small group of old rich people can get rich. I agree our country should be taking a war footing on climate change, especially considering the significant evidence provided in this book. This book should be required reading for all politicians in all parties.

the best book on climate science I have heard yet

Really enjoyed Dr Karl’s frank but light hearted look at the climate, and what we can do to fix it. Surprisingly all the answers to all our problems are in this book. If every politician on the planet had to read this before taking office we’d all live in Utopia right now… Dr Karl for PM. There I said it.

Priceless work Dr Karl

An enjoyable listen to much of the science covering causes and effects of climate change. Also identifies many ways of physically reversing the trends but gives virtually no consideration of the costs and effect on lives of doing so. These are the hindrances to the solutions. Most of the world's population barely get by each day and so can't afford to pay more for all the products produced greenly. But when the real economics changes consumers will flock to the more economic green products. Big business and governments are blamed for not changing but Dr Karl forgets that business only produces most cheaply what consumers want and in democracies the voters choose the government. Australia has a recent history of not voting in favour of climate change eg voted in Abbott to abolish the carbon tax, liberals got rid of Turnbull twice on climate change issues. It's not the government... it's the electorate. It is up to the individuals.... government and business will follow.
