Sounds Like A Plan

'Visualise' – with Prof. Ed Hawkins MBE, climate scientist and creator of The Warming Stripes graphic

Listen on

Episode notes

It’s been a privilege to welcome some major names in music onto the podcast so far – on the flip side, Prof. Ed Hawkins MBE is one of the great modern figures in climate science. Not only is he one of the lead authors on multiple IPCC reports, he’s also creator of the world-famous Warming Stripes graphic. The striking visual charts our heating planet since 1850, and has crossed over into music, art, fashion and beyond. For example, former guests on this podcast Enter Shikari use the artwork in their live show.

Ed joins hosts Fay Milton and Greg Cochrane to discuss the extraordinary impact of the Warming Stripes, the role of public engagement in climate action and give an assessment on the latest science, and what action we can all take next. 

Our hosts will also leave you with some recommendations (more info below).
