Conversations That Matter Ep 58 - Tim Flannery

Episode 58

Professor Tim Flannery

Atmosphere of Hope

This week’s Conversation That Matters features Professor Tim Flannery, the former Australian Climate Commission on changes in behavior and the advances in alternative energy production that have him believing in the possible.

Flannery says, “a couple of years ago I started to realize there was an extra tool in the tool kit. One that was gonna be quite important to our future, and I had to invent a name for this extra tool. I called it the third way. And really the third way is about technologies and methods and approaches that allow us to draw carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere at a scale that makes a difference to the climate. And in a way that strengthens the earth system or ability to self regulate. And that concept is a really, really important one. “
