John Ironmonger is a internationally bestselling novelist, the author of 'The Whale at the End of the World' and other novels. He is a winner of the European Literature Festival prize, was shortlisted for the Costa first book award, and was runner up in The Guardian's 'Not the Booker' prize. He is a PhD zoologist and has written and researched in the field of climate change. 'The Climate Crisis Picture Show' is a 1 hour presentation based upon the material he researched for a book, 'The Climate Crisis Picture Book,' which will be published in 2025. The talk covers the history of the climate crisis, and focusses on two dashboards ... 'can we move to sustainable energy by 2030?' and 'can we cut emissions to zero by 2030?' The talk is clearly illustrated. It makes the point that the window for effective action to mitigate global warming is now very short, and the actions we have to take will be considerable. There is hope for the climate. But only if we act now.
