What is climate change? Featuring Marybeth Arcodia // Climate Workspace Episode 1
We see a lot of news reports about the climate crisis and many of us are seeing first hand its effects. But what is the IPCC and what are the reports they make? And what are the main takeaways of their most recent report, Assessment Report 6? Where do we stand now?

In talking with Marybeth, I was surprised that the IPCC has been making reports for over 30 years, and that we have less than 10 years to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. What fact was surprising to you? Let me know in the comments.
