Among the myriad trials that besiege humanity, one stands as the most urgent: the climate crisis. This dilemma, unlike any other, comes with a stringent deadline (literally). Should our efforts falter, the repercussions could be catastrophic, imperiling the lives of billions.

Yet, in the realm of discourse, a significant debate unfolds around ideology. The sentiment echoes, "The climate conundrum demands a democratic solution." Such a stance, while noble, entails a temporal compromise, for democracy is a process that thrives on deliberation.

So, where do we find the confluence?

In this dialogue, Ely Sandler poses a profound question, one that compels us to reflect deeply: must we set aside the ego of democracy to save ourselves from the existential threat of climate change?
