Book Club - How to Be a Climate Optimist by Chris Turner

Pullback

Kristen and Kyla sit down during their season break to discuss the book How to Be a Climate Optimist: Blueprints for a Better World by Chris Turner, a climate reporter sharing his personal research on technological climate solutions, from green islands to solar panel factories. This book outlines how much progress has been made in the last 25 years, and explores what technology exists today that could help electrify the grid if adopted at scale. Though the book was certainly well researched, Kyla and Kristen are disappointed in it's limited scope. They discuss the urgent need for stories of climate optimism that are grounded less in technocratic solutions and more in collective action driven by a hopeful vision of a more inclusive and less destructive future.
