A Better World with Mitchell J. Rabin

Mitchell Rabin speaks on solutions to Global Warming.

There are so many complex issues we are facing today that it has become boggling on all levels to even begin to dis-entangle them, then thread the needle with some precision to at least begin to solve and resolve these challenges which literally threaten sentient life on the planet.  It’s true that many have been with us for some decades, such as nuclear weapons, but I argue that the threat threshold and complexity has increased and our ability to remain calm, centered, coherent and in a lower carbon footprint.
