In this 14th episode of The Rationalist, the ‘Things Are Heating Up’ edition, host Mike Coté and returning guest Robb McClintock discuss a hot topic in political and policy circles: climate change.

Specifically, they break down the problem, attendant important concepts, the positions on all sides, and the proposed potential solutions. The hosts avoid diving into statistics on the problem itself (as we’re no scientists) but talk quite a bit about the economics of the solutions being proposed. National security concerns, the problem of collective action and externalities, and the ‘Green New Deal’ are all topics of discussion.
