Welcome back to Wicked Problems. The climate tech show not afraid to ask the big questions. Like, what last-minute gifts should climate nerds ask Santa to bring them?
We asked Ben Cooke, who writes about climate tech and the environment at The Times, to talk through his recommended books of the year:
The Deluge, by Stephen Markley
A climate thriller that goes much faster than its 900 pages might suggest. “It's really, it's really worth it”.
Avocado Anxiety, by Louise Gray
Climate Capitalism, by Akshat Rathi
Five Times Faster: Rethinking the Science, Economics and Diplomacy of Climate Change, by Simon Sharpe
Definitely one for the policy wonks.
The Last Drop: Solving the World’s Water Crisis, by Tim Smedley
And one that is on our pre-order list:
Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet, by Dr. Hannah Ritchie
Defusing the Hydrogen Bomb
We also spoke about his coverage of the UK government decision to drop a hydrogen home heating trial in Redcar, and his reactions to the agreement in Dubai after having attended COP28.
Thanks for Listening
We’ll be back with more episodes before the end of the year:
* John Hartley, Levidian CEO (Thursday)
* Gunnlaugur Erlendsson, CEO of ENSO Tyres (Saturday)
* Ciaran Cuffe, Green Party Member of the European Parliament for Dublin (26 Dec)
And plenty more in store for the new year.
