Will our future world be mostly desert? Featuring Marybeth Arcodia // Climate Workspace Episode 2
We see a lot of news reports telling us that we are running out of time to act on the climate crisis. But what can we expect to happen in the coming years if we do not take strong action? What will our world look like? And most importantly, can we really do anything about it?
This is part 2 of a conversation with climate scientist Marybeth Arcodia. Part 1 focused on the background of the climate crisis, the IPCC, the 1.5ºC warming target and where we stand now. You can see it here: • What is climate change? Featuring Marybeth...
