Glasgow Science Centre s first digital festival hopes to inspire conversation – and seek solutions – on the climate change crisis. By Colin Cardwell WE VE been aware of Earth’s biodiversity crisis for decades – its urgency confirmed in 1964 when the International Union for Conservation of Nature published its red list of endangered species. Climate change now is the most serious long-term cause, creating chaos in ecosystems across the planet. It is appropriate, then, that Glasgow Science Centre (GSC) is partnering with experts from WWF, the world’s leading conservation organisation, for a series of talks and live Q&As on the impacts of, and solutions to, climate change as part of Curious About Our Planet, GSC’s first digital science festival.
