Professor David Karoly (pictured) has a reputation as being the scariest professor from the University of Melbourne, but as he points out it is not he who is scary but rather the information he shares. Prof Karoly had been with the University of Melbourne before joining the CSIRO, from which he moved into retirement only about 18 months ago. However, he may be retired, at least in name, but it seems he is busier than ever as he is still involved with the university, has joined the Climate Council and regularly speaks at events such as the recent film festival. His presentation revolved around a series of slides and they will soon be available on the website of the Benalla Sustainable Futures Group. The June 17 festival attracted 150 people, which the lead organizer, Mr Ian Herbert, said was perfect as that was the maximum number planned for and fitted comfortably at the Swanpool Cinema. The festival was supported by "Swanpool Landcare"; "Save our Strathbogie Forest"; "Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority"; "Benalla City Council"; "Gecko Clan"; and "Winton Wetlands". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW MAY 15TH 2023Produced by Vivien Langford HEATWAVE SCIENCE ------ EXTINCTION PREVENTIONUNITE TO SURVIVE Guests :Extinction Rebellion TV Live.(396) XR Big One. 21-24 April 2023 - YouTube The Big One featured 200 climate action groups gathered in London in April. A joyful crowd of 60,000 extra ordinary people swarmed  with more pageantry than the coronation. I extracted some comments to show the depth, education and ardour of these climate activists determined to turn the tide.. We hear from The Climate Media Coalition , XR doctors and nurses, Trade Unions, Engineers for climate action and a retired policeman on how Citizens Assemblies can cut through the futile battles in court. They did not disrupt traffic or glue themselves to banks. They did not disrupt the London Marathon and they did not get the ususual outraged media coverage that anger and disruption generate.They  created their own media and we will bring you more extracts from The Big One in the following months.The aim was to be inclusive, to "Unite to Survive".  TO TAKE ACTION AT THE END OF MAY -  join us at:Melbourne Action Occupy for Climate Melbourne 2023 - Extinction Rebellion Australia (ausrebellion.earth)Can Extinction Rebellion really be the new centre ground of the climate movement? | Ellie Mae O'Hagan | The Guardian Fear and Wonder  .   Episode 3 takes us to a Heatwave in Toulouse. The show is hosted by Joelle Gergis, a climate scientist and lead author for the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and her friend Michael Green, an award-winning journalist.In this episode, we're unraveling one of the major shifts in the public communication of climate change – the attribution of extreme weather events to climate change. In the past, we knew climate change made extreme weather more likely, but couldn't say for sure if an individual weather event might've happened in a cooler world too. But scientists have now developed more sophisticated models to help determine how connected or influenced the shift in climate is on individual weather extremes.We speak to climatologist Fredi Otto about a rapid attribution study of a heatwave in Toulouse, France. Then scientists David Karoly and Tannecia Stephenson help us understand how climate models are built and what they can tell us about our changing weather. 

Last month the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Synthesis Report of the Sixth Assessment Report. It showed global temperatures are now 1.1℃ above pre-industrial levels. This warming has driven widespread and rapid global changes, including more frequent and intense weather extremes that are now impacting people and ecosystems all over the world. But when an extreme weather event hits, how certain can we be that it was made more likely by climate change? How do we know it wasn't just a rare, naturally-occuring event that might have happened anyway?Fear & Wonder is a new podcast from The Conversation that takes you inside the UN's era-defining climate report via the hearts and minds of the scientists who wrote it. In this episode, we're delving into one of the major shifts in the public communication of climate change – the attribution of extreme weather events to climate change.Featuring Dr Friederike Otto, Senior Lecturer in Climate Science at the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London in the UK, David Karoly honorary Professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia, and Tannecia Stephenson, Physics Professor at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica. Fear and Wonder is produced by Michael Green and is sponsored by the Climate Council, an independent, evidence-based organisation working on climate science, impacts and solutions.Further reading: Have climate change predictions matched reality?Is climate change to blame for extreme weather events?

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) says there's about a 50% chance of an El Niño ‘event' occurring this year. After years of dealing with La Niña and floods, It's only natural to wonder what El Niño will bring. In today's deep dive we'll tell you what you need to know about these weather events, and how they're being impacted by climate change.

After three years of wet weather, you might expect the fire risk of the next summer to be low. A new report from the Climate Council and Emergency Leaders for Climate Action however, has found there is actually risk of a potentially “devastating” fire season ahead. So what's caused this risk and what can we do to prepare for it? Climate researcher and co-author of the report, David Karoly, will explain what you need to know in the deep dive.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A public forum at Melbourne's St Paul's Cathedral entitled "Fighting a Climate Emergency" was held under a huge three dimensional (it is seven metres across) artwork of Gaia created by British artist, Luke Jerram. Ever worsening warnings of trouble for the Shepparton-based Nicholls electorate has reached a new level with the Climate Council declaring the Federal Seat to be the worst in Australia with regard to riverine flooding, adding that even under the least worse scenario, many homes in Shepparton will be uninsurable by 2030. Murray Silby's story in today's Shepparton News - "Report claims 90 per cent of Shepparton homes uninsurable by 2030" - makes for unsettling reading.

Mick is joined by Climate Scientist Professor David Karoly for a chat about the Great Climate Change Hoax, dealing with stalkers and death threats, dumb politicians and deniers, whether it's too late to do anything and the best place to buy a house if you want a beachfront property in 2050.

The Australian-German Energy College at the University of Melbourne has regular lectures in a relatively small space at its Grattan Street offices and the latest was packed with many people forced to stand.Holding centre stage as he talked about the "Sensitivity of historical climate simulations to uncertain aerosol forcing" was University of Reading climate scientist, Professor Ed Hawkins.Among those in the crowd was Professor David Karoly; a senior advisor from the college, Simon Holmes á Court; a well known and respected climate activist who was the co-author of Climate Code Red, David Spratt, who has written reports for Breakthrough; and the founder of "Music for a Warming World", Simon Kerr.Professor Hawkins is responsible for many things in the climate world, among them the "Show your Stripes" - a simple graphic illustration of how the world is warming.

Watching Q&A is like poking a stick in your eye. But it's worth it to see climate scientist David Karoly concede every point to Alan Jones - especially when he doesn't realise he's doing it.

David Karoly (pictured above) arrived in the landscape of my life when he spoke at the University of Melbourne's week-long "Festival of Ideas" in 2009. At the time he was a Professor in the School of Earth Sciences at the university - David is an internationally recognized expert on climate change and climate variability.This exceptionally generous man has been described as one of Australia's 'national treasures' and is now the leader of The Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub (ESCC) at the CSIRO, and is committed to building a world-leading climate and Earth systems science hub, using its capability and understanding of Australia’s past, present and future climate to supply useful and accessible climate information for Australia.

They’ve come at him from all angles, but Professor David Karoly won’t be bullied. Now, the distinguished Australian climatologist faces his greatest professional challenge yet: He has to convince his own government to accept the advice they employ him to provide. If only life were so simple for climate scientists…

Climate scientist Prof David Karoly stresses urgency to reduce emissions. Together with Clive Hamilton, they have issued a minority report in response to the recent Climate Change Authority report on introducing an emissions trading scheme.

In this episode, we look at another climate catastrophe contributor - black soot.  Killling more people than HIV, malaria, and TB combined soot and smoke from cookstoves and hearths contributes not only to direct deaths but is a major contributor to climate warming.Interviewed by Alex Smith, host of Radio Ecoshockauthor of Fire and Ice, Jonathan Mingle explains how this dirty residue, a.k.a. black carbon, is one of the world's most dangerous and least understood pollutants, leading to millions of premature deaths annually and contributing more to glacial melting than carbon dioxide does.Will black soot, the second greatest cause of global warming, be regulated at Paris?Vivien hunts down the answers with scientists Gerard Wedderburn Bisshop, David Karoly and Malte Meinshausen.Put this in your diary - Melbourne People's March.  If you do nothing else to support climate change, do this!  Friday, November 27th outside the State Library.  See you there.
