  • Summary

  • A climate blog set up probably a decade ago was rather difficult as it was challenging to find relevant news stories, until shifting to podcasting about three years ago and now stories about climate change are everywhere - the landscape has changed dramatically. Choosing what's relevant is now the challenge, deciding what to leave out, rather than put in is the dilemma. In line with that, is the challenge of covering what's happening, so doing that with the hope of providing a reasonable and decent coverage of local and international events means I need help. I need someone prepared to make contact with potential interviewees, conduct the interview, assemble the relevant episode and submit it for publication. I'm unsure how that would work, but contact me, Robert McLean, and we can talk. The Leader of the Opposition in Australia, Peter Dutton, has re-ignited the climate wars with the nuclear proposition, and that has been fact-checked.
