Will Technology Save Us on a Hotter Planet? With Neela Banerjee

The Gerald R. Ford Foundation invited Neela Banerjee to discuss the climate crisis

Technology is certain to play a key role in limiting and addressing climate change. But is it enough to avert the extreme weather events that threaten millions of people worldwide? Geopolitical rivalries, political inertia, and policy disagreements continue to slow a process that needs to rapidly advance, especially as countries least responsible for the climate crisis become impacted the most. Neela Banerjee, the Chief Climate Editor at NPR, discussed how we might challenge our current understanding of the climate crisis and suggest ways citizens might respond. This was part of our Great Decisions Program, a partnered series with the World Affairs Council of Western Michigan.
