Episode notes

Some are actually getting really pretty close to the experience of eating a beef burger. The key problem there is that it's quite energy intensive. I'm slightly optimistic that lab grown meat makes it in terms of scalability and still slightly skeptical. It'll be interesting to see her for the next five to 10 years how that world changes and what becomes available.

Having completed several degrees in environmental science, Hannah Ritchie nearly left the field out of helplessness and frustration, worried she would never make a real difference. Today, she's a passionate advocate for changing climate messaging, replacing what she believes are paralyzing--and often false--claims with empowering arguments that people can embrace. Listen as the head of research at Our World in Data talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about food emissions, low-carbon technologies, and what the data shows about what matters (and what matters much less) when it comes to climate change.
