We Are the Weathermakers

Tim Flannery discusses climate change

Tim Flannery, one of the world’s leading writers on climate change, talks to Melbourne secondary school students about the causes and effects of global warming, and what can be done about it.

The talk, presented by the Centre for Youth Literature and Text Publishing, marks the launch of We Are the Weathermakers, Flannery’s young-adult edition of The Weathermakers. Both books explore how we have become the weathermakers and are influencing climate change, and how we can change to help combat the problems.
