The Pragmatic Perspective on Climate Change and Risk Management
Embracing Common Sense in a Complex World
The conversation begins with the fundamental idea that reducing exposure to risk is what prudent planning entails. The speaker emphasizes that there is a need to prepare for worst-case scenarios rather than obsessing over perfectly accurate predictions or relying solely on scientific certainty. This approach aligns with a straightforward principle: safeguard oneself and society through sensible, precautionary measures in an uncertain future. The speaker advocates for moving away from divisive debates rooted in ideology and instead focusing on pragmatic solutions rooted in facts and risk management.
