Barometer Live: Weather and climate evening

A splash in a pool of water

Start your evening with Weather vs Climate, the live Podcast by the Barometer Podcast team. What causes cold UK winters, flooding in Pakistan and wildfires in Australia - weather or climate? Find out the difference between the two, plus how they’re linked, at this interactive talk with local Atmospheric Science researchers from the Barometer Podcast team.

You will then have the chance to explore the Manchester Museum’s new Living Worlds gallery and the museum allotment, before putting your questions to the experts in our live Climate Change Question Time.

How fast is the world warming? How do we know that? Is enough being done to stop it? This is your opportunity to ask a panel of experts anything you ever wanted to know about climate change. The University of Manchester has climate specialists at the frontiers of research who are happy to tackle your questions.
