Change Climate Change Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

How has pressing pause on humanity given us a new look at climate change? Is this a fire drill for worse things to come? Is this a chance to help our ecosystem or a threat to the regulations protecting it? Who thought of this idea of the carbon footprint in the first place? What would create a bigger impact, change at an individual level or at a policy level? Admittedly, I don’t talk about climate science nearly enough on the show. So atmospheric scientist Katherine Hayhoe was like water in the desertification. So enlightening and important. It brings me great hope to know that people like Katherine are working on behalf of humanity.
