Climate Capitalism, Optimism, Fatalism, and 1.5C in the rearview

Welcome back to Wicked Problems - the climate tech podcast that has to be as good as other podcasts, but backwards and in heels.

Richard and Claire chat through Akshat Rathi’s new book, Climate Capitalism.

They also reflect on their reactions to the new research that says staying under 1.5C of warming might be out of reach, their conversations with Ketan Joshi and Susan Joy Hassol. And the answers to the question, what should we be saying about the 1.5C target in light of their new research - from Leo Hickman of Carbon Brief, asked by James Murray at the BusinessGreen Net Zero Festival, and Akshat Rathi of Bloomberg and Solitare Townsend of the consultancy, Futerra.
