We began the show with that withering clip from Jem Bendell, founder of the Institute for Leadership and Sustainability at the University of Cumbria, UK, speaking in Egypt at COP27. Later in this program (and this blog), you hear Bendell and Harvard’s Dr. Ye Tao again at COP27, with better audio. Ye Tao explains how millions of mirrors on land could reduce global heating. Bendell says our situation is that dire. Then Jem apologizes for the way scientists and academics have blind-folded us from the awful truth.
