Climate change is about physics and science. But it's also about politics and power. It's about how decisions get made, and in whose interests they're decided.
And by all accounts 2015 is the year that the fight to take on climate change is really heating up. Not only is this the year that the world will be again coming together in Paris to try and come up with an agreement to stave off the worst impacts of climate change, but social movements around the world are rapidly growing in size and number and are beginning to successfully battle the power of the fossil fuel industry. The gloves are off now in this fight, and the fossil fuel industry is fighting for life - Tim Flannery  Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers
To help put this growing battle and political fight in context, we spoke to two of the most importance voices within the climate movement: Bill McKibben activist, author, and founder of 350.org, and Tim Flannery, Australian scientist, author of The Weather Makers, and chief councillor at The Climate Council.
