Wicked Problems - Climate Tech Conversations Paris Has Fallen: Jim Skea (?)
In this episode, host Richard Delevan dives into the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton and why it’s time for North Carolina to sue Big Oil for damages. Joined by Richard Wiles from the Center for Climate Integrity, we explore how oil majors fueled the climate crisis and intensified storms like Helene. We argue that to win in court—and in public opinion—North Carolina must shift the narrative, hold Big Oil accountable, and move beyond cautious rhetoric around 1.5°C - which we discuss with Joe Lo from Climate Home News. The stakes couldn’t be higher: the future of climate action depends on it.
