We've all noticed that the one-in-100 year floods in eastern Australia seem to be happening a lot more often than once every 100 years. But Pakistan's floods have been described as \"epochal\", meaning once in several million years. It's impossible to describe the amount of water that has inundated a third of a country which is the same size as the Australian state of New South Wales, killing more than a thousand people and displacing millions. There are of course unmissable climate signals behind this disaster, which Ant discusses with Elfy, in her return to the pod after a few weeks away. Also this week, we cover a fascinating debate between climate scientists, there's good and bad news in the oceans, a milestone in EVs in California, and Ant does his finest killer whale impersonation. Trust us, this is all in context!
