ABC's Q&A panel discusses CSIRO cuts' affect on climate science

2016-03-15 5

The panel on the ABC’s science-themed Q&A episode discusses the consequences of climate science cuts at the CSIRO. Emma Johnston, a marine biologist from the University of New South Wales, says Nasa’s announcement that February was the most anomalously warm month on record showed measurement and modelling needed to be increased, not cut back. She says the science has been settled on whether climate change is occurring, ‘But what is a really active question is how climate change is going to play out’.
