The James Hansen Interview

In this very special episode, I am joined live in Berlin by the
"Godfather of Climate Science," Dr. James Hansen.


Dr. James Hansen is the former director of the NASA Goddard
Institute for Space Studies, and is now the Director of the
"Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions Program" at Columbia
University's Earth Institute. He was one of the first to bring
climate change to the public eye with his famous testimony before
the U.S. congress in the 1980s. Since then, he has continued to
be at the forefront of the climate debate. 


We discuss a wide range of topics: 


The emergence of the science on global warming from rising
CO2 levels

Dr. Hansen's experience as a high-caliber climate advocate

The shift from climate deniers to climate lukewarmists

The two most important climate actions for Dr. Hansen, a
carbon tax and support for nuclear power

Why Dr. Hansen didn't go to COP26

The anti-nuclear lobby

The virtually unlimited government support for renewables

Differential responsibility for climate change

The contrast between German and Chinese approaches to climate
action

Fukushima, alarmism, and anti-nuclear NRC picks

Reflections on geoengineering
