Description

On "eco-modernism".


Ted Nordhaus, co-founder and executive director of the Breakthrough Institute, talks to Leigh and Alex the 20th anniversary of "The Death of Environmentalism" and the 10th anniversary of "The Ecomodernist Manifesto". We discuss:

  • Why environmentalism differs in the US versus Western Europe




  • Why modernisation gets lost in discussions on the environment
