Quick Climate Links: It's 'Planet Critical' - Rachel Donald talks with Richard Heinberg

Investigative journalist, Rachel Donald, is behind the podcast "Planet Critical" and uses that platform to talk with influential people from all around the world. She says: "Essentially, it’s our behaviour that’s at the root of the problem. But so often this isn’t addressed as the root. Our economic system claims tech will save us from ourselves—but imagine we do find a silver bullet, do we have the social cohesion in place to implement that solution or any?  Her guest on this episode of "Planet Critical" is Richard Heinberg.
