Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is the race for minerals unnecessary?
Q: How does the history of extraction in Chile inform current practices?
Riofrancos explains that the relationship of the Chilean state with its mineral resources has been one of tension between public ownership and private exploitation, influencing modern conflicts over resources.
Is the race for minerals unnecessary?
Q: What are the common negative impacts of extraction mentioned in your book?
Riofrancos highlights ecological impacts, water contamination, social divisions, economic volatility, and community exclusions as key negative consequences of mining.
What if climate politics is about power, not carbon?
Q: What needs to change in climate policy according to your analysis?
Green suggests a shift towards economic institutions and a focus on financial dynamics rather than just emissions. This involves empowering green asset owners while constraining fossil asset owners, emphasizing the impact of political economy on climate action.
What if climate politics is about power, not carbon?
Q: Can you explain the focus on emissions in climate policy?
Jessica Green explains that the focus on emissions was due to climate change being seen as a scientific problem, primarily managed by natural scientists, and it became entrenched that way over time. Policymakers have often chosen to focus narrowly on emissions rather than addressing broader systemic issues.
Is green shipping all plain sailing?
Q: What do you think are the barriers to more efficient and cleaner fuels in the shipping industry?
The shift to alternative fuels will take time due to the need for infrastructure and the current supply of clean fuels being scarce.
