The Harsh Economics of Climate Change

Global warming is something that threatens to impact us all: both environmentally (with the loss of natural marvels such as the great barrier reef) and economically. But humans aren't actually contributing as significantly as you may think to global warming. In fact, the vast majority of the world's population lives a relatively low-carbon emission lifestyle compared to "the developed world". Yet, ironically, the world's poorest citizens are the ones most likely to be impacted by the potential byproducts of a warmer planet. In this episode, let's explore the economic impacts of climate change – both in terms of its potential consequences and the feasibility of available solutions.
