Geologist, academic and best-selling author Professor Ian Plimer joins Jeremy Cordeaux at the table for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense conversation about climate, mining and the resources that underpin modern life. Never one to shy from a contrarian view, the professor digs into the science behind the headlines, the economics of energy, and the yawning gap between political rhetoric and geological reality — with a few sharp words about ballooning public-sector salaries along the way. Provocative, informed and thoroughly entertaining. With thanks to our sponsor Rossdale Homes — fixed-price peace of mind, because trust is a must. rossdalehomes.com.au
