Climatopolis: How Our Cities Will Thrive in the Hotter Future
Economics and environment expert Matthew Kahn argues that if we slowly change out behaviors and surroundings, we’ll surely make it though the heat that is to come in the future due to global climate change.
Global climate change is among us whether we like it or not. But it’s not all gloom and doom – there is a way for society to adapt to environmental changes. Economics and environment expert Matthew Kahn argues that if we slowly change out behaviors and surroundings, we’ll surely make it though the heat. In his new book Climatopolis: How Our Cities Will Thrive in a Hotter Future, he takes readers on a tour through some of the world’s largest metropolitan cities explaining what they might look and be like in the future. Patt talks to Matthew Kahn to get his point of view on our not so distant future.
