Bridging the Metabolic Rift

Inspired by the recent Breakthrough Dialogues theme of the
“Metabolic Rift,”Leigh Phillips joins me for a far ranging
discussion about the challenges and consequences of humanity’s
decoupling from natural ecological flows. We navigate perspectives
from deep geologic time on mass extinction or so called “biological
revolutions,” the likelihood of modern humanity’s disentanglement
from fossil fuels and the optimal mix of markets and planning
required to best navigate emerging ecological threats.
