Successful peace-talks lead to Joe and Ben's first combined interview in yonks. Their guest is Chris Middleton, a Jesuit priest who is also the rector of Xavier College. Chris explains his idea of a pragmatic approach to climate change, in particular the roles that could be played by the Church and the market. It also seemed a good opportunity to get his take on a few pesky existential questions.
For the first time, we're including some 'recommended reading'. As background to this bumper episode, check out Chris' articles related to climate change that have been published in Eureka Street and sections of Pope Francis' 'Laudato Si' (2015).
