What's the biggest challenge facing human civilization right now? Fake news, poverty, hunger,

oppression? Yes, all of these are huge problems right now. But if climate change kicks in,

you can bet that it'll amplify these problems and many more. That's why it's critical that we

get answers and fundamental models to help understand where we are, where we're going, and how

we can improve things. On this episode, you'll meet Dr. Damien Irving.

He's a climate science researcher using Python to understand what the climate models are telling us.

Hey, everyone.

I'm super excited to bring you this climate science, climate change episode.

But before we do, I want to just catch you up really quick on my free MongoDB course that I talked about last week. If you're looking to

learn MongoDB, especially with Python, check out free MongoDB course.com. Just last week, over

5,000 people signed up and really enjoyed it. So drop by the website, sign up, and check it out.

Now let's talk with Damien about climate research and Python. Damien, welcome to talk Python.

Thanks for having me. Very happy to be on. Yeah, I'm really excited about our topic that we've got

lined up today, Python and Climate Science. And I think there's just so many aspects to talk about
