Electric Evolution Recharge Episode 5: Liz Allan and Professor Richard Allan - Advancing into a Fossil-Free Era.
Liz Allan speaks to Richard Allan, Professor of Climate Science at the University of Reading. They explore the dire need for systemic change—shifting from fossil fuels to greener energy, the influence of media on public opinion, the polarising effect of social media, and the innovative strides taken by universities such as the University of Reading in combating this global challenge.
Richard also discusses the record-breaking temperatures of 2023, the destructive weather patterns they've unleashed, and why rapid, significant action is the only path forward. They delve into what it means to act now, innovate responsibly, and safeguard the future for generations to come.
Richard Allan Bio:
Richard Allan's journey into climate science began as a curious student in the 1990s. Immersed in the early reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), these comprehensive assessments unearthed his deep-seated interest in understanding the complex narrative of climate change. His prominent role was crafting the landmark IPCC 6th Assessment Report. Here, he became a lead author, where Richard has helped clarify both the natural occurrences and the anthropogenic influences that have shaped our planet's climate history through his contributions.
