“We are somewhere between denial and delusion,” according to climate scientist Kevin Anderson.

The professor of Climate and Energy at the University of Manchester talks here in a Beyond One Degree interview with Martin Helberg about the widespread illusion that we can mitigate climate change within business as usual, small steps and some future technology.
He concludes that we have the scientific knowledge and technical solutions to move to renewable energy, but we lack the political, economical and cultural will to implement the systems at scale.
He is endorses the research of so called ”negative emissions” and geo engineering, but does not want us become dependent upon them.
He works on climate questions because we still have a possibility to avoid catastrophe, but he thinks we are about to choose to fail.
”Let’s not pretend it is not a choice,”he says.
