Joe Aldy on how Joe Biden can jumpstart the global climate effort
b'Twelve years ago, Aldy was a member of then President-elect Barack Obama\\u2019s transition team as it took over from the George W. Bush administration. He says the objective then was much the same as it is now\\u2014figuring out how to push aggressive measures to stave off the worst effects of climate change while bringing back lost jobs and jump-starting a stalled economy. But comparisons only go so far. Aldy says in many ways Biden\\u2019s challenges are more formidable: A much shorter window to transform our energy infrastructure, a struggling economy made even worse by a raging pandemic, and a country even more polarized and in ideological conflict with itself. Professor Aldy and host Thoko Moyo explore those those challenges and discuss how the new administration can respond \\u2014 and maybe even succeed.'
