150 – Dr. Matt Winning

Dr. Matt Winning (yes! Actual name!) is a climate policy researcher, environmental economist and stand up comedian.

I got to see Matt’s show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, It’s The End of the World As We Know It, and it make me laugh and also made me sad. Here we discuss the depressing reality we’re faced with when it comes to the climate crisis, what is to be done about it (as individuals and collectively), approaching tipping points, apocalyptic predictions, what that IPCC report really means and where to find some hope.
