  • We WILL Stop Climate Change: Here's How
    Nov 14 2022

    The world's most important climate conference to date, COP27, is on right now in Egypt. Why should I give a f**k!? You might ask. This is why: Humans have managed to increase Earth's temperature by 1.1 C since the late 1800s, and we're on a trajectory for 3 C warming by 2100, which would basically be Armageddon. But don't freak out just yet, 3 UN climate reports have come out in the last two years that give us CLEAR guidelines on what the world needs to do to stop the earth from warming past 1.5 degrees C and prevent catastrophe. In this bonus episode, Aidan (who just happens to be a climate change expert) breaks down everything we know about climate change and how to stop it using the UN 3 climate reports as a roadmap to victory.


    Sadly, this is Aidan's last episode as a co-host on Living Room Logic, which he explains at the end of the episode, prepare to cry. Tears aside, Aidan is moving on to greener pastures, and will keep the LRL memories close to his heart for many years to come!

    Nov 7 2022

    In today's episode of this award winning science podcast, Aidan interviews a social scientist and climate activist, Dr Clare Watson, who tells us why many people deny or ignore climate change, and how positivity and community engagement (with a little help from the government) can refresh people's mindsets towards less doom and gloom and more action and progress.

  • Green Energy: Economy Booster, Climate Solver w/ Researcher & Policy Advisor Dr Paul Deane
    Oct 31 2022

    In today's episode of this award winning science podcast, Aidan interviews an expert in renewable energy, Dr Paul Deane, who explains why renewable energy could play a huge part globally in stabilising energy supplies, reducing costs and reducing carbon emissions massively. Paul has previously given TED talks about these issues and has won several awards for science communication, so he's definitely worth listening to, on top of his expert knowledge of his field.
