This session of the radio show shares the output of The Climate Minute podcast episode hosted by Ted McIntyre, Franklin resident and climate activist. We met to record in the Franklin TV & Public Radio studio on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
The topic thread we talked of as we continued this making sense of climate discussion went Something like this:
- Climate Leader Community
- State pilot to allow gas bans in 10 communities
- Path dependence
- Critical juncture
- Behavioral changes underlying energy revolution/overshoot/planetary management
- Need for new behavior now
- End of world? Viewpoints matter.
This discussion continues our journey understanding the MA roadmap toward net zero and while it helps me “make sense of climate”, we hope it helps with your understanding as well.
If you have climate questions or Franklin specific climate questions, send them in and we’ll try to answer them in a future session.
The conversation runs about 54 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Ted.
