@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes Others are increasingly making this point, including @wenstephenson and even former @@UNFCCC leader @CFigueres... 2/
@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes @wenstephenson @UNFCCC @CFigueres “We’re not going to solve climate change,” said @cfigueres in opening #AspenIdeas chat with @DLeonhardt & former Obama lead negotiator Todd Stern. She stressed #parisagreement set us on a very long journey toward a climate-resilient, post-carbon world. 3/
