Coffee & Geography 5x21 Ray Butchart (Yorkshire & Humber-based Climate Ambassador)

A season-long special interviewing #ClimateAmbassadors across the UK! Why did they become Ambassadors? How do their unique backgrounds empower climate action? Joining Kit Marie from the Yorkshire & Humberside region is Ray Butchart, a retired RAF aircraft engineer (22 years) and industry veteran (31 years) with 58 years of scuba diving expertise. Ray shares profound insights from recovering WWII aircraft (like the Halifax bomber in Norway!) to studying marine ecosystems worldwide. Discover how deep observation of nature—from Caribbean coral reefs to Saharan dust storms—fuels his climate advocacy. Ray discusses bridging generational gaps, empowering schools through STEM, and why "being a small cog" matters in the fight for our planet. Key topics: • Engineering the recovery of a sunken Halifax bomber (now at RAF Hendon Museum). • Marine biology mysteries: The escape artist octopus "Inky" and coral reef resilience. • How slow observation combats climate disconnection. • STEM outreach: Teaching semaphore, green-power cars, and underwater surveys.
