CSIRO cuts, Antarctic climate research and Lighter footprints

Claude Lorius a French glaciologist, showed the climate history in an Antarctic Ice Core.
In the film "Ice and Sky" we see how his team traced back 400,000 years and the alarming impact of increased carbon in the last two centuries. As an old man we see him dismayed by the attacks of climate sceptics and deniers. The panel at Transitions Film Festival discuss this in terms of cuts to the CSIRO and the climate science that would keep us safe.Caroline Ingvarson won a prize for her local leadership in Lighter Footprints and we celebrate the achievements of her climate action group.
