The Road from Paris, Featuring Ernest Moniz

What are the consequences of the United States backing out of the Paris Climate Agreement? In June, the Trump administration announced the move. In this episode, former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz says exiting the Agreement is bad for science-based decision making, national and energy security, and innovation.

Moniz speaks with Susan Tierney, a senior advisor at Analysis Group. aspenideas.org
