In ‘Human Nature,’ Kate Marvel bridges the gap between climate science and emotions

Kate Marvel is a climate scientist who has testified before Congress and served as lead author of the U.S. National Climate Assessment.

In today's episode, the scientist and author speaks with NPR’s Scott Simon about watching the world end through computer models, pushing back against emotional neutrality, and her book’s chapter on pride.
