Climate Camp panel with George Monbiot

This panel discussion happened during an evening at the Camp for Climate Action. It's an hour or varied thoughts about the present and future of climate science and what our response should be to it. The panelists are Oli and Sophie involved in the Climate camp set up, Richard from CAT and George Monbiot.


It's an interesting and fair discussion that looks at where our focus should be in trying to come up with clear responses to the challenge of Climate Change.
