Our Wild World

In 2014 with my guest Rick Heede, of the Climate Accountability Institute, we discussed that it is approximately 90 companies world-wide in the fossil fuel and other mega industries, that are responsible for 2/3 of all emissions on earth. Rick joins me today as we discuss the rapid changes that have happened in just 4 years, help connect the dots as to how we account for climate change, and a radical proposal that would alleviate much of the burden on those areas places most impacted by climate change: That the companies responsible for these emissions be held financially accountable for the damage they have knowingly caused, and take the lead in mitigating the worst effects of the resulting disasters costing the world billions of dollars, with the most pressure on those who can’t afford it. Rick presents the reality that we cannot stop what is already in motion –but there are efforts that can be taken so the world is still an inhabitable place decades from now.
