On this week’s show, your host, Justin Mog, tackles the climate crisis head-on through a sober and inspiring conversation with Samuel Goodman, PhD. Dr. Goodman is a scientist by training, earning his doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. He has since spent his career working at the intersection of science and public policy in Washington, DC, at the National Academy of Sciences, U.S. Department of Defense, and U.S. International Trade Commission.
Dr. Goodman has always been focused on climate change both in and out of the laboratory. It is an all-encompassing problem that influences every part of our civilization. However, over time, he grew frustrated with the lack of progress and seemingly dead-end ideas taking up all the air within climate discussions. The book, "Beyond Carbon Neutral: How We Fix the Climate Crisis Now” (New Degree Press) was his attempt to find firm footing and determine if solutions and hope truly exist. He now firmly believes they do. Learn more and keep up with his work at http://drsamuelgoodman.com, https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuel-m-goodman/ and on Twitter @GoodestSam
Beyond Carbon Neutral presents a complete strategy for averting climate disaster with the tools we have right now. The book covers all the critical pieces: making a completely renewable power grid, permanently sequestering carbon, and overcoming the social and political barriers that block progress. Dr. Goodman teaches the ins and outs of climate change and its solutions in an understandable way while maintaining a feeling of levity in the face of an overwhelming problem. He shows readers there is hope, if they are willing to take collective and systemic action to build a better future.
As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!
