A podcast about the Big Philosophical Questions raised by climate change, featuring 1-on-1 conversations with climate scientists. We traverse the personal-professional interface to explore how scientists personally see the value of their work and reckon with its implications, a.k.a. what it all means — from the long-term global level to individual life choices.
