Dr Kristina Dahl (pictured) is the vice president for science at Climate Central, leading the group's scientific activities, helping design analyses that enable people throughout the world to connect their lived experiences to climate change.

During the interview, Dr Dahl said: "We are all living in a 'climate-changed' world.

Climate Central is an independent group of scientists and communicators who research and report the facts about our changing climate and how it affects people’s lives.

It says: "Climate Central uses science, big data, and technology to generate thousands of local storylines and compelling visuals that make climate change personal and show what can be done about it.

"We address climate science, sea level rise, extreme weather, energy, and related topics.

"We collaborate widely with TV meteorologists, journalists, and other respected voices to reach audiences across diverse geographies and beliefs," it says.

Decisions by Australia's Labor Government through its newly minted Environment Minister, Murray Watt, have sent shudders through many, and the airwaves of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation were alive with comments and observations: "Australia's largest gas project granted extension";

Violet Coco (pictured) has the innate ability to reach into people, touch their hearts, make them feel something, make them angry, and yet comfort them with the thought that someone is doing something about alerting the world to the terrors of climate change.

Violet, a woman with the seeming innocence of a young girl, was taken to lunch by Angus Delaney, and here you can hear the audio of a story he wrote for the Melbourne Age: "There’s no bridge too far for this climate activist’s cause".
