He and his team (mostly composed of scientists, not economists) provide very interesting insights on global warming/energy transition. Unlike others, they provide the big picture of the situation and are not trying to hide their sources.
I'm surprised to see one of his presentation on HN, where the opposite opinion reign I think. As an example, they are really "bearish" on the Green New Deal, as it will simply not be enough to address the challenge ahead of us.
Curious to see people' reaction.
- wffurr 6y agoIs there a written summary of version of this talk that you'd recommend? I am curious but not curious enough to watch the whole thing.
- HourglassFR 6y agoNot that I'm aware of. This talk is in itself a summary of a 10+ hours course he gives to his studends. Is the first time I have come across a presentation of this guy in english and this is why I wanted to share it here. But basically it is a re-hash of the limits to growth arguments, with more modern data.
- Kydlaw 6y agoI look briefly, but could not find any... The issue is that they are mostly presenting at French engineering schools/colleges, and the presentations are... in french. There are no usually no transcripts nor even translations. At that point it's a cultural thing I guess to be bad at sharing knowledge world wide (Disclaimer: I'm French). I could not recommend enough to listen to it though. The viewpoint he is presenting is unusual enough to be worth it.
