The Price We Pay For Carbon (Climate Change) | Glen Peters | Escaped Sapiens #29

In this episode of the podcast I speak with Glen Peters who is research director at the Center for International Climate Research in Norway. Glen's research focuses on human drivers of climate change, the global carbon cycle, bioenergy, sustainable consumption, international trade and climate policy, emission metrics, and more. The underlying political and economic drivers of climate change are complicated, and the issue has become political. My goal in this discussion was to get a more realistic understanding of what climate change actually means. What is the damage that we have already done, and what can we expect moving forward? Is climate change an existential threat? Have we reached peak carbon? What is being done by governments and what responsibility can we take on as individuals?
