A Tipping Point

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of treating climate solutions as profit-driven ventures and the role of climate advocates in supporting such ideas.

Treating climate solutions like an infinite money cheat might not be a great way to actually solve the problem, though it's sure to make plenty of "green" entrepreneurs rich. It makes sense that businessmen would stay focused on profits, but why do climate advocates keep supporting these ideas? This season is a collaboration with the Intercept Brasil.
