Nature cannot be fooled! Webinar with Prof. Henrik Nordborg

Nature cannot be fooled!

What the corona crisis teaches us about solving climate change.

With media’s attention almost entirely devoted to the corona crisis, it is easy to forget that climate change represents a much larger threat to humanity and that we are rapidly running out of time to fix the problem. We should therefore try to learn as much as possible from the current situation, which offers important insights into the politics of crisis management. The most important lesson is probably that “nature cannot be fooled”. Real threats cannot be countered with wishful thinking or political rhetoric.

The largest obstacle to fixing the climate crisis is in our heads. For almost 30 years, we have been arguing over minimal changes to society, hoping that these would miraculously suffice to solve the greatest challenge in human history. Political convenience was more important than solid facts. The corona crisis might give us an opportunity to change this. In my presentation, I will try to be more ambitious and present a plan which would actually solve the climate crisis.
