In this episode of Green Neighbour, I explore the latest IPCC Report, which is the Working Group III report from the Sixth Assessment cycle.
In addition, I discuss some analytical tools and resources that you can use whenever you might encounter a case of climate denial.
Finally, I share my personal experience with a form of climate action you might be interested in trying, and that is the use of an electric tankless hot water heater.
