'A very funny, important, and only moderately terrifying, clarion call' - Adam Kay

You've probably noticed that we’re currently facing a global climate emergency. But why does the end of the world need to be so depressing? Environmental researcher, and stand-up comic, Matt Winning, aims to both lighten the mood and enlighten people who care about climate change - but aren't doing much about it. Matt will guide you through the main causes of climate change, what changes are needed, and what YOU can (and cannot) do about it - hopefully with a few laughs along the way!
