Should we be freaking out? Last week the United Nations warned the world is on the path to climate catastrophe, and the chance to stop global warming exceeding 1.5 degrees had passed.
The news comes after a year of headlines about climate related disasters - from deadly heatwaves in Europe, to calls for climate compensation in Nepal.
So why didn't the UN's warning cut through? And what would a warmer world look like for you?
In today's long listen climate scientist Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick unpacks what exceeding 1.5 degrees of warming will mean for the world, how it feels to be a climate scientist right now, and why she says there's still hope.
Guests:
Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick, Professor of Climate Sciences at the Australia National University
