Green Pulse Ep 11: A meeting of climate minds
17:14 mins
Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2019, The Straits Times dives into all things green, blue and brown. Green Pulse analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
This month, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan (@audreytrp) and climate change editor David Fogarty (@FogartyClimate) chat with Professor Mark Howden, director for the Climate Change Institute at the Australian National University, and Dr Jim Skea, Professor of Sustainable Energy at Imperial College London's Centre for Environmental Policy.
Both Professor Howden and Professor Skea are senior members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) -- the United Nations’ scientific body on climate science. With the IPCC in Singapore to prepare for an upcoming report, The Straits Times catches up with them to find out their thoughts on the state of the world’s climate.
The recent spate of extreme weather events have made people start to pay attention to the warnings that scientists have been giving for decades: The climate is changing, humans are to blame, and the time to act is now.
Tune in to this episode for a crash course on what the IPCC is, why their scientific reports are so significant, and why they are in Singapore.

#GameOfTwoHalves Ep 55: Sour grapes from Juergen Klopp, and a tearful win for Andy Murray
Time: 12:42 mins
Synopsis: A Game of Two Halves is The Straits Times' weekly sports podcast that is out every Tuesday.
Bernard Lim is joined by ST sports correspondent Sazali Abdul Aziz and they talk about Juergen Klopp's frustrating evening at Old Trafford, where his Liverpool side saw their 17-match winning run ended by auld rivals Manchester United after a 1-1 draw. But were Klopp's comments about United's style of play warranted?
The pair also talk about three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray and his emotional ATP title win at the European Open in Switzerland last week - it was his first title for almost two years, and the first major milestone since undergoing career-saving hip surgery earlier this year - and discuss what the 32-year-old Scot still has left in his tank.

Joker theories and a fight between two Fresh Princes.
In this Double feature, Jonathan Roberts and Joanne Soh discuss Mr & Mr Smith – Will Smith now versus Will Smith then in Ang Lee's Gemini Man.
Is the film any good and just as important, does it work in Ang Lee's chosen medium of High-Frame Rate? Does shooting in 120 frames per second instead of the regular 24 – take to audience into the action or does it look more like a test film for hi-def TVs in Courts?
Before they get there, Todd Phillip's Joker is still haunting out minds with a mass of conspiracy theories regarding events in the film. Did we actually see Arthur Fleck's father in the film?
