Our cartoon guide answers the most asked questions about climate change and how to take action
You ask and we answer.
Over the last four years, children from schools from across Tasmania have been sending us their questions about climate change.
Our team of climate scientists, conservation biologists, fire scientists, chemists, lawyers, engineers, psychologists, social scientists, oceanographers, Indigenous knowledge specialists and health experts, have answered more than 600 of your questions!
You can find answers to questions by searching for a particular topic, or looking at the questions we've organised into themes: most asked, looking ahead & taking action.
Or you can find out what questions each class asked, or look up an expert for all their answers.
