Episode notes

The really bad climate scenarios are energy blind in they just assume that we will continue to grow at 3% this entire century. That's not going to happen. And you see as the economic pie begins to shrink around the world, you will see populist leaders like what happened last night in Italy and a couple weeks ago in Sweden. So once you understand this, this 7th stage of climate awareness is we are going to have to respond to a smaller economy,. Then suddenly when the musical chairs financial situation ends up having too many chairs, too many people versus the amount of chairs available. I still care deeply about climate change and biodiversity, but I'm trying to work looking two or three steps ahead

Climate change is often described as one of the single most important and existential issues of our time - that there is no greater threat to humanity. While the effects of climate on our ecosystems and wildlife is one of my greatest concerns, it does not tell the whole story.

On this weeks Frankly, I highlight (what was in my case) Seven Stages of Climate Awareness – from recognizing ‘there is an environment’ to understanding that the systems dynamics of the human economy implies a much different choreography of societal response than is currently being advertised and pursued. Global warming is becoming more obvious to more people, but the interventions look quite different at Stage 7 than Stage 4. It is unlikely we’ll find ‘solutions’ without first understanding the dynamics at its core.
