Episode 68. BEST IN CLIMATE: It Will Get Darker Before the Dawn, by Paul Gilding
“COVID 19 is not a ‘black swan’ – a singular, unexpected event. It is the first in a series of what NYT’s Tom Friedman referred to as a ‘herd of stampeding black elephants’ – multiple, predictable and economically catastrophic events. Events that everyone knows are coming but our political and business leaders have consciously chosen not to deal with.”
In this Best in Climate episode, Christine reads a recent post from Paul Gilding, first posted on PaulGilding.com. He reminds us that choices – whether around preparing for a predicted global pandemic or the prediction of climate change and ecosystem collapse – always have consequences.
