Climate Crisis: ‘Deal with it or Suffer the Consequences’

"It comes down to what we're willing to accept on a large scale; what we're willing to sacrifice to keep or maintain at least some level of civilization." — Dr. Samuel Goodman, speaking about climate change.

Goodman made that startling comment in a new episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, now streaming,

"It's an issue that transcends everybody's politics. You can either deal with it or not and suffer the consequences."

Dr. Goodman is an author, speaker, and scientist who uses his education and experience to bring the confluence of science and engineering to important issues of public policy, like climate change.nnHe has a phD in chemical engineering and has just written a new book, “Beyond Carbon Neutral – How We Fix the Climate Crisis Now.” Climate change, he says, “is the defining challenge of our age”.
