Scotland’s Climate Story: Past and Present

In this episode of The SAGES Climate Science Podcast, we explore the story of climate change from its ancient origins to its modern-day impacts, with a special focus on Scotland. Our guest Professor Matteo Spagnolo of the University of Aberdeen, helps us unpack how our climate has evolved and what it means for the future. Professor Spagnolo begins takes us on a journey through time, explaining how the climate has changed throughout Earth's history. What evidence do we have today of these changes, and does this suggest that climate change is entirely natural? We delve into the causes of historical shifts and what distinguishes the current climate crisis from past changes.
