Claim: "Only two of the ten leading experts are physical climate scientists"
Quick Reply
That’s by design. The film isn’t about the physics of climate change, which is settled. It’s about what climate change and nature loss mean for the whole of society - for our health, food, security and economy.
So it brings together leading experts in each of those fields. You don’t ask a climate physicist about hospital capacity or national security.
More Detail
The National Emergency Briefing examines the consequences of the climate and nature crisis for public health, food security, extreme weather, biodiversity, national security, energy and the economy. That is why it deliberately brings together leading specialists from across these fields. A medical expert doesn’t need to be a climate physicist to explain the health effects of extreme heat, any more than a former military commander needs to be one to assess national security risks. The relevant qualification is expertise in the subject being discussed.
