In this episode, bestselling author and data scientist Hannah Ritchie joins us to examine the data on the biggest questions holding us back: Is it too late? Are we too polarised? Will we run out of the resources we need?</p>\n<p>Speaking to physicist and broadcaster Helen Czerski, Hannah draws on her new book <em>Clearing the Air </em>to explain that the data paints a surprisingly optimistic picture. </p>\n<p>Together Hannah and Helen speak about contextualising progress, bust myths on everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines, and explore the solutions already working to build a cleaner, fairer, and more sustainable future. </p>\n<p>If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.</p>\n<p>For £4.99 per month you'll also receive:</p>\n<p>- Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared episodes, wherever you get your podcasts</p>\n<p>- Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series</p>\n<p>- 15% discount on livestreams and in-person tickets for all Intelligence Squared events </p>\n<p>... </p>\n<p>Or Subscribe on Apple for £4.99:</p>\n<p>- Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared podcasts</p>\n<p>- Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series</p>\n<p>…</p>\n<p>Already a subscriber?
