In this very special episode of British Suits and Cowboy Boots, Richard talks to Katharine Hayhoe, Climate Scientist and Chief Scientist for the Nature Conservancy.

She tells about her experience as a participant at the United Nation’s COP26 conference in Glasgow in November 2021, the significance of the conference, the outcomes and why it matters to the world.

Katharine explains how Texas is the most vulnerable state in the US to climate impacts, “global weirding” and how climate change is supersizing the impact and frequency of climate events, including Hurricane Harvey. She also discusses how Texas is leading in solutions through renewable energy production and housing North America’s first carbon neutral airport in Dallas/Fort Worth. 

Katherine talks about her views on climate change and faith, the political polarization of global warming and how to have positive, constructive conversations about climate change. 

A thought provoking discussion with a world renowned leader on connecting faith, science and communication.
