Around the U.S., weather has been whiplashing communities with ice storms, devastating heat waves, catastrophic flooding, fire, and drenching rainfall. How do we find and maintain hope? On the next Fiat Lux Redux, Tuesday, April 15 at 9 AM, psychologist Dacher Keltner, writer Rebecca Solnit, and climate scientist Patrick Gonzalez make a compelling case for staying optimistic about the future of our planet. Rebecca’s newest book, co-edited with the climate activist, Thelma Lutunatabua, is called Not Too Late, Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility.
Fiat Lux Redux presents previously aired lectures, conversations, and podcasts originating on the campus of UC Berkeley every other Tuesday from 9am to 9:30am. These often-lengthy original programs have been edited to a 30-minute format by experienced KALX producers. The show’s name, Latin for “Let there be light”, is a reference to the University of California’s motto, which is also Fiat Lux. The show’s goal is to provide listeners with a window into the intellectual and cultural life of UC Berkeley and to showcase the wide range of subjects and diversity of thought and ideas that are present at UC Berkeley.
This episode of Fiat Lux Redux was edited by Mike Gill and was originally produced, reported and published by The Greater Good Science Center and re-broadcast by The Edge podcast, sponsored by California magazine and the Cal Alumni Association and hosted by Leah Worthington.
