Saleem Ali is the Distinguished Prof. of Energy & the Environment at the Univ. of Delaware. He’s known for his work in environmental conflict resolution and was recognized as an “Emerging Explorer” by National Geographic. Dubbed the “The Alchemist” by Forbes, Ali connects politics, science, and nature in Earthly Order, weaving narratives of his experience as a National Geographic field explorer throughout. I’ve included advance praise for the book below my signature. He’s also the author of Earthly Order: How Natural Laws Define Human Life, which just hit shelves July 1.
We discuss how natural and social/political systems influence planetary crisis (and climate change in particular), how climate change acceptance evolved over the time he's been focused on this topic, and how much hope we should have for the future, considering how much work there's left to be done.
