Nobel Prize Economist: 3 Choices Every Country Has On Climate | Ep. 456 with Gary Yohe

In this Founder’s Story episode, Daniel Robbins sits down with Gary Yohe, Professor of Economics and Environmental Studies at Wesleyan University and a longtime contributor to the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). With more than 40 years of research, Gary explains the economic consequences of climate change, why extreme weather risks are intensifying, and whether humanity has passed the point of no return. The conversation explores climate adaptation, misinformation, the attacks scientists have faced, carbon markets, the difference between hope and optimism, AI versus climate change, and how Gary helped shape international climate policy through language accepted by 195 countries.
