The Global Cable is back for the new year with a conversation
with Michael Weisberg. He is the Professor and Chair of Philosophy
at the University of Pennsylvania, and this year he’s the inaugural
Penn Faculty Fellow at Perry World House.
Professor Weisberg is currently working on initiatives in the
Galápagos Islands, educating local communities about their unique
environment and how to conserve it.
He talks to us about taking part in the COP25 climate negotiations
in Madrid; how a better understanding of science shapes public
attitudes to major issues like climate change; why Charles Darwin
inspires him; and whether we can still be optimistic about saving
the world from the coming climate emergency.
