Life is uncertain. It is chaotic, it is complex and it confounds us. Our eternal quest as humans has been to make sense of the world we inhabit, the realities we perceive, and the existence that has been thrust upon us. Poetry, philosophy, psychology, religion, art are all systems attempting to answer the same fundamental question – what the hell is going on?
In attempting to answer this rather eloquently framed question, science has been our best bet so far.
Joining me today is Dr Chirag Dhara, a quantum physicist and Research Associate at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology. With him I attempt to find out just how settled is the scientific communities consensus on climate change, how is a twitter storm analogous to a climate tipping point, how a 1.5 degrees temperature change is much worse than it sounds, and why East India is going to continue being in the company of cyclones, floods, and storm surges in this weeks What UnEarth.
