• Wildfires: How ready are we for extreme climate events?

  Things are hotting up. As global temperatures increase, so too does extreme fire risk. Parts of LA are still burning, and this week we’re exploring all things wildfire in a changing climate. As we watch fires erupt on our TV screens, we ask: In the UK, are we really as sheltered from wildfires as we might think?   More info: State of Wildfires Report: https://tyndall.ac.uk/news/state-of-wildfires-report-2023-2024/ Beavers and fires Fairfax stop-motion animation: https://emilyfairfaxscience.com/research/firebeavers/ Met Office’s Fire Severity Index https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/fire-severity-index/#?tab=map    Get in touch We're on Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter and email [email protected].

• Driving electric: Is the UK ready for EVs?

  As climate change marches on, and transport is under a spotlight for significantly contributing to carbon emissions, we’re exploring electric transport. Are we ready for it, particularly in the UK when compared to other countries? What is outstanding in electrification/decarbonisation? And is it a realistic climate ambition?    Show notes: Hinkley Point Petition: https://win.newmode.net/hinkley-point-nuclear-power-station-fish-protection https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/02/uk-needs-to-ban-full-hybrid-cars-by-2030-or-face-net-zero-catastrophe https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/23/do-electric-cars-really-produce-fewer-carbon-emissions-than-petrol-or-diesel-vehicles    Get in touch We're on Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter and email [email protected].
