Climate or Corruption? - Spencer Roberts, The Intercept

What happens when corrupt incentive structures and incorrect
ecological assumptions crash into each other? A billion crabs
vanish, and everyone blames it on the nebulous effects of a
changing climate. Everyone, that is, except for Spencer Roberts -
freelance journalist with bylines at the Intercept, Jacobin,
Nautlius, and The New Republic. Roberts started looking into the
hyperbolic headlines and discovered a predictable mess of corrupt
incentive structures, questionable ecological practices, and a
bottomless appetite for exploiting ever-deeper, colder waters. We
talk greenwashing, corrupt incentives, government as corporation,
nuclear power, and what to do about everything that's
wrong.
