Blair Palese and Philip Bateman | Finding ourselves in a post-truth, post-science world

Philip Bateman Season 3 Episode 19

Find yourself in a post-truth, post-science world?  Join Blair Please and I as we get into what to do about it, and cover a wide range of topics;

  • Dis- and misinformation, poisoning the well of public discussion, fake and bot profiles inserting prepared comments to misdirect voices of change.
  • The acquisition of the Wall Street Journal, the potential implications on the information coming through to markets on opportunities such as renewables, energy, batteries and clean tech as an emerging market
  • Existential challenges, new pundits, collaboration in the emerging low carbon world and when we're seeing public discussions about nuclear energy policy and infrastructure;

    - Is it generational thinking for the benefit of the public, as an outcome of citizen juries and civic responsibility?
    - Or is it a political wedge issue to get out of opposition?

Blair is the Director of Philanthropy at Ethinvest, Managing Editor at Climate & Capital Media and Founder of the Climate Capital Forum.
