Charles Eisenstein, a public speaker and author focused on ecology, dives into the chaotic climate debate. He discusses why meaningful conversations are so difficult, emphasizing the emotional biases and tribalism that skew perspectives. Charles urges a shift from fear to love for nature, promoting a holistic approach to environmentalism.

Charles Eisenstein is a speaker, teacher, and author. A graduate of Yale University with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, his work covers various topics, including human civilization, economics, spirituality, and ecology. His published works include “The Coronation,” “The Ascent of Humanity,” “Sacred Economics,” “The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible,” and “Climate—A New Story.” In the last-mentioned title, he argues that reducing environmental discourse into the single issue of global warming is a huge mistake for the environmental movement.
