Hi, I'm Christine, one of the producers on Zero.

Today, I'm sharing an episode from another climate podcast that you might like.

It's called Drilled.

Zero's host, Akshat Rathi, was a guest on Drilled earlier this year, talking about his book,

Climate Capitalism, and how climate solutions and capitalism might coexist.

We're dropping that episode in the feed today.

If you like what you hear, you can follow Drilled wherever you get your podcasts.

Enjoy.

Hello, and welcome back to Drilled.

I'm Amy Westervelt.

Today we have the second episode in a mini series I'm calling messy conversations. These are episodes where we're going to tackle some of

the thornier questions around how to approach the climate crisis. This time around my guest

is a journalist I respect a lot, Akshot Rothi at Bloomberg.

Akshad wrote a book recently called Climate Capitalism, a title I initially found a little bit off-putting, I'm not going to lie.

Unfettered capitalism has been a major fuel to the fire of global warming for years, So I tend to be a little bit skeptical about

suggestions that capitalism is going to solve the climate crisis. But in both his book and in

this interview, Akshad injected some nuance into that conversation that's kind of been missing

for a while. And I felt like it was important to share. I hope you find our conversation interesting.

That's coming right up after this quick break.

My name is Akshutrati and I am a senior reporter for climate at Bloomberg News.

I'm also the author of Climate Capitalism, Winning the Global Race to Zero Emissions.

And is the book out now?
