Episode notes

The wealthy, let me tell you, they lov to consume. They also have a something else, disproportionately, in addition to loving to consume and eat bonbonds and fly in private jets. This is what makes climate change, you know, a so called wicked problem that we are, we are part of the the problem and part of the solution at the same time. But i do think there's more of a critical eye being cast now on those folks who are producing such enormous amounts of greenhouse gas omissions.

The IPCC Report is one of the biggest, most important scientific projects ever undertaken by humankind, bringing together thousands of scientists from around the world to collect and evaluate our most up-to-date knowledge on climate change. Today on the show, Adam speaks with one of the lead authors of that report, Sarah Burch. Sarah explains where we are, where we’re headed, and what we can do to stop it, straight from the horse’s mouth; and she shares why she is optimistic about humanity’s future.
