Navigating the polycrisis: environmental breakdown, energy transition, and the future of human survival with Richard Heinberg of the Post Carbon Institute


Listen Later

I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow at the Post Carbon Institute about his brand spanking new report Welcome to the Great Unraveling: Navigating the Polycrisis of Environmental and Social Breakdown. 

The biggest eye-opener for me? The extra emissions from creating the hardware we need to avoid surpassing emissions limits could ironically cause us to surpass emissions limits. Bottom line: no matter what, we need to reduce emissions as well as green our energy infrastructure.

If it feels like we’re living in an age of multiple crises whose interlinkages we’re only starting to fathom, it’s because we are. Listen as Richard explains how to navigate this new reality.
