Are we too late to do anything about climate change? Many would argue that that’s the case, but are we even asking the right questions?
In this episode, recorded live in Sydney, Australia, in answer to a question from an audience member, Thom offers a more optimistic perspective about climate change than we might usually find.
Thom provides a framework for thinking about our environmental challenges that balances realism with hope, scientific understanding with ancient wisdom, and immediate action with long-term adaptation.
There are still opportunities to participate in upcoming events in Sydney. You can find out more at thomknoles.com/sydney.
