The climate crisis is complicated and our kids have questions! Luckily, our University of Melbourne experts are here to answer them in this new series from Melbourne Climate Futures.
In episode one, Elsie, Zoe and Hanna want to get to the bottom of how all this climate change business started! Dr Lily and Dr Linden do a bit of time travel to explain just how carbon was captured millions of years ago, and why it's getting out into our atmosphere now. Plus, stick around to the end for tips on how you can help slow global warming!
