ClimateCast: Lights, Camera, Climate Action?
Tuesday 8 February 2022 18:46, UK
On this week's episode of Sky News ClimateCast, Anna Jones and Katerina Vittozzi tuck into some popcorn as they explore the impact of cli-fi, aka climate-fiction.
They explore whether climate change storylines that feature on our screens could help audiences engage with the climate crisis and even encourage people to take climate action.
They speak to renowned film and TV producer Naren Shankar who worked on Star Trek, CSI and more recently the Amazon series The Expanse - where Earth has been decimated by "climate catastrophe". They discuss the thinking behind producer's climate change narratives.
Plus, Anna and Katerina are joined by climate scientist Professor Michael E Mann, who Leonardo DiCaprio credits with inspiring his character in the Netflix hit Don't Look Up.
And - from energy bills and new oil fields, to flood costs and baby koalas - there's plenty of climate news to go around.
