Spending the Night on a Train to Combat Climate Change: A Good Idea? Some of you had critical feedback on my recent video, "Should I really fly less to fight climate change?" In that video, I discussed scientific evidence about which personal actions can have the greatest impact. The findings? While reducing flights, going car-free, or eating less meat all help, donating effectively to outstanding climate charities can create an even larger positive impact. Among the commenters was Julian Kölbel, Professor of Finance at the University of St.Gallen. Intrigued by his initial skepticism, I invited Julian to join me in Amsterdam. We dug deeper into the data and perspectives behind these findings. Why was he initially unconvinced, and what does he think now, after exploring the evidence more thoroughly? ▶️ Check out the video here 🎥 https://lnkd.in/eTNm6aHh Curious to hear your thoughts.
