Episode notes

The climate is such a complex system. There's so many variables that making conclusive statements about what's going to happen with the quote unquote climate in the next 10, 20, 50 years is a nearly impossible task. The kind of fear mongering that is done saying we should spend humongous amounts of money to change the trajectory of everything we're doing is not justified because predicting is very difficult. Instead, it's better exactly what you're saying, which is focusing on local problem, local saying we need to protect the Amazon.
