With the US election just around the corner, James speaks to the journalist and political commentator Ezra Klein about political polarisation and climate change.
Ezra is the founder and editor-at-large of Vox.com, the award-winning explanatory news organisation.
He is the host of the excellent podcast the Ezra Klein Show and recently published the book Why We’re Polarised, which draws from history, political science and psychology to carefully explain how different groups of Americans can see politics through such different lenses.
Joe Biden said recently in his convention speech that “we can and we will deal with climate change.” I hope you find this episode helpful for understanding our current moment – what is at stake and what we can do about it.
