Episode description

James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana consider the premise that is argued from time to time that the mindset of, and approach taken by, some environmentalists may be counterproductive as far as doing better on the environment (01:29).  The guys also discuss the increasing pace of scientific discovery and why people’s view of modern times typically shortchanges what is coming in the future (42:22).
