464: Deborah Knuckey on Antarctica, climate reality & practical advice for testing
b'
While Deborah Knuckey\\u2019s resume says plenty about her more than 20 years of strategy and marketing experience in the renewables sector, she\\u2019s more defined by her career breaks to learn mountaineering, do polar expedition training, study photography and complete a graduate program in documentary filmmaking with the hope of retracing her father\\u2019s expedition through the Antarctic.
Deb writes about climate, energy and the Antarctic, with occasional forays into climate fiction and satire. Her wit and intellectual candor is exactly the kind of stuff I love to read, and its probably the reason I\\u2019ve become friends with her over the years we\\u2019ve worked together in the renewable energy sector. She\\u2019s just back from the ClimateForce 2041 Leadership on the Edge program in the Antarctic, and I got to sit down with her to hear about how her various explorations of the Antarctic have influenced her winding path to clean energy. Her decades-long effort to transcribe her father\\u2019s Antarctic travel journal and revisit the life of a man she never really got to know features prominently in the story today, and even prompts some of my own reflections on how to be a better Father and friend. Today Deb & I get deep into the things she\\u2019s learned about the Antarctic, why it\\u2019s fascinated her and pushed her all her life, what we can learn from that vast baron landscape and why she considers it to be \\u201cthe subconscious of the world\\u201d. And, her \\u201ccrystal ball\\u201d answer will certainly leave you wanting more of Deb Knuckey!
She\\u2019s a Climate Futurist with a deep personal quest for addressing the climate crisis.
