#hottakeoftheday – A discussion about climate change differences with Colleen Brennan-Vandersteen (Episode 140)

Of late, rather than screaming into the great abyss that is the cavern between those that worry about climate change and those that don't, I have taken to challenging people on LinkedIn on the other side of the aisle to come on the podcast and discuss it with me.  Of the 30 or so invites I've offered, Colleen is the first to accept and for that I commend her. Here was her post. And here was my response: Colleen.   You want to debate some of these points?  I would say human flourishing based on access to energy is kind of key. I would say the lifestyle we live is 100% correlated to our energy consumption.  And I would say that at a cost of $11,300 per person each year, every year for the next 29 above and beyond taxes to try to attempt to get to Biden’s net zero plan is insane.  Adapting is a much more practical solution. Especially as the models are highly suspect and were bought and paid for by the governments seeking to justify the investments that bring in their donations. Thoughts? I dig in and try to understand - what do we have in common, what is different and why do we see the world so differently.  I will continue to challenge, discuss and debate because it is the only path forward.  More importantly, I let the listeners decide.  Censorship is a problem for a million reasons, and this is one of them.  If we can't discuss, we can't find common ground. Colleen is the CEO and Founder of Save our Planet Refillery.  You can find her on LinkedIn!
