It’s been a very hot summer in Washington, and Jonah wants someone to blame. To get to the bottom of things, AEI scholar Roger Pielke stops by the studio to discuss the dissonance between politicized science and perspicacious reality. Jonah wants to know: How do we manage our energy supply? Is climate change really an existential threat? Should we nuke hurricanes? What happens when you mix science with ideology? Roger has the answers, and then some: AI models, Olympic controversies, and the wild world of degrowth. Tune in for a tour through the storm, where science meets politics and common sense fights for a seat at the table.
