Summary

Can changing our consciousness hold off the climate apocalypse? When we think about the enormity of climate change and what it’s doing to our planet, it’s easy to get overwhelmed, even shut down, by despair. But is despair such a bad place to be?

Guests: Roy Scranton, Author, "We're Doomed. Now What?" (Soho Press, 2018) Matthew Fox, Co-Author, "Order of the Sacred Earth" (with Skylar Wilson, Monkfish, 2018) Learn more about your ad choices.
