Summary
<p class="" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1690333152664_459">On this episode, Nate is joined by climate and policy scientist Roger Pielke Jr. to discuss the progression of climate research and modeling. The climate activist community is based around projections of what a future might look like given the actions of society - an important tool in the push for urgent climate action. Yet, just like with any other model, the assumptions and parameters can greatly shape the outcomes. How has climate science been shaped by previous models and public perception? How did 2Cº come to be our common climate goal post? Are we anticipating the future within the most likely range of possibilities, or are we polarizing ourselves to the extremes of climate denial and climate doom?</p> <p class="sqsrte-large"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--lightAccent"><strong>About Roger Pielke Jr.</strong></span></p> <p class="" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1690333152664_471">Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. is a professor at the University of Colorado where he teaches environmental science and policy.
