Having grown up in an El Nino environment, the curiosity of my guest this week was sparked from an early age. She believes that growing up in a science +ve household helped to keep that spark alive - along with a fish tank in their lounge!
Climate science is a deeply complex field of study, yet there is no official qualification for the subject. It is an ever growing field needing collaborators from different academic disciplines to get creative with their perspectives and ideas.
Despite, this globally diverse team effort, 98% of scientists agree on their findings, yet the public are not fed this message. The media skews climate science to instil fear and doubt.
My guest is certainly not doubtful of her research, but her work does make her highly concerned about carbon outputs. So much so, that her views on motherhood are heavily influenced. And she's pretty outspoken on relationships too, believing that they are a source of emotional labour - perhaps it's because she has experienced that women always face resistance when they ask for things in this Patriarchal world.
