'Beautiful and wonderful' - Dr John Williams on the sixth extinction



Beautiful and wonderful” were the words used by agricultural scientist, Dr John Williams, when talking about “The Sixth Extinction”.

His observations came during an interview with the author of “The Sixth Extinction”, Elizabeth Kolbert, at last year’s Melbourne Writers’ Festival.

Ms Kolbert and scientist Dr Williams explore the science surrounding climate change, the effects of land clearing and agriculture, and their impact on the planet’s biodiversity, and eventual survival.

An hour-long interview is published here - “The Science of Survival: Elizabeth Kolbert and Dr John Williams on the science of climatechange” – by The Monthly.
