Urgency of Climate Change, Part 1

Season 5 Episode 3 | 26m 46sVideo has Closed Captions

Our expert guests agree climate change is a problem, but disagree on its urgency.

Warming temperatures and their potential impacts are predicted to escalate in the coming decades. Dr. Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist, argues for urgent action to reduce emissions. Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, a political scientist, maintains that climate change is a smaller problem than others we face, like poverty and education. Pursuing those would allow us to better adapt to a changing climate.
