Here’s our second I,Science radio show of the year with a great team of first timers just nailing it!
We discuss the IGCC report on climate change. This dry sounding report is potentially life changing – it pulls together all the evidence about climate change and makes the point that if we go from 1.5 degree warming to 2 degree this is actually quite catastrophic. Moving on to the recent wonderful news that a female physicist has won a Nobel prize for physics but was rejected by Wikipedia for a webpage beforehand. Bad Wikepedia who we rely on so much for our essays and understanding what social scientists are on about. Next we talked about errors in science papers and how easy it is to get total fabricated crap published even through peer review. Particularly gender studies – we are there with you sisters but get your act together! Then we talked about rewilding. Introducing wolves back into parts of Scotland so they can control the deer population and humans don’t have to shoot bambi anymore. So controlling the deer population and drawing the tourists to see the wild wolves could be the making of parts of Scotland. Dodgy but might work.
