Guest: Dr. Kerry EmanuelClimate science and threats from climate change have been hot topics of conversation among the public as well as business and political leaders. But there seems to be a disparity in how climate scientists view what’s causing this change and how the public understands and feels about the issue. This ultimately hampers efforts to improve the scientific field around climate and to develop effective solutions and policies to mitigate risks. Our guest today is working to bridge that gap in understanding. Kerry Emanual is the author of Climate Science and Climate Risk: A Primer. We’ll discuss what the motivation was for authoring this book on climate science as well as what he learned from the process and how we can help promote understanding on climate science and how it’s affecting our world.
