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.

The lights recently went out across Spain, and the Australian oil and gas giant, Woodside, was quick to seize on the consequences of the disruption to drive home the importance of ensuring reliable energy supplies: "Spain’s crippling blackout shows need for gas in a greener world: Woodside CEO";

"What we lose when weather balloons don’t fly";

"5 huge climate opportunities await the next parliament – and it has the numbers to deliver";

"'A war zone': Desperate for help, flood-hit residents say army deployment 'isn't enough'";

"Rather than blaming carbon, Paul Hawken argues we should recognise its role in animating life. This way, we can heal the planet";

"Could the fuel powering F1 next season also run your car?";
