Dave Powell: Our Brains on Flying in a Climate Crisis
D
8:31Dave PowellGUEST
We can know something is a problem and profess to care about that thing being a problem, but not act in a way that you might conclude is the logical conclusion of that.
D
8:42Dave PowellGUEST
It's basically what you're asking, right? And I think that is like implicit in there is a model of how humans act.
D
8:50Dave PowellGUEST
get through life and go around the world and their lives which i don't think is how it actually works like what what you're basically suggesting in there is that we do stuff when we have the right information and where we care about something our behaviors follow it I think that's sort of kind of true, but I think there's so much other complicated stuff going on there.

I start by asking him, "What happens when you put the unhappy couple of climate change and your brain on the therapy couch together?" Here's what he says.
D
1:33Dave PowellGUEST
This is the first time I've, I've sort of anyone's really asked me that question, so forgive me if this comes out a bit, a bit funny.
D
1:40Dave PowellGUEST
I think that, so I've been working on, like, climate stuff for 20-odd years, something like that.
D
1:53Dave PowellGUEST
Um, all we need to do is think of a better world, and it'll come along, and maybe there's a few vested interests to tackle.
D
2:00Dave PowellGUEST
And, and sort of gradually beginning to dawn on me in that process of like, ah, it's a bit more complicated than that.

The definitive guide to Aston Villa’s finances in 2025
S
14:26speaker_9HOST
Probably the most common question we had from pretty much everybody, this one I've picked from Brett, simply says, "Do we have to sell a player or more by the end of June or not?"
D
14:34Dave PowellGUEST
I think the, the revenue that they've made, um, from the Champions League this year plus them, they booked a, a profit on Jhon Durán of 52 million I think after his book value was kind of paid off.
D
14:49Dave PowellGUEST
And I think that may have been the, the big deal which allowed them to get, you know, obviously Asensio in on, and pay, pay wages for Rashford, et cetera.
D
15:01Dave PowellGUEST
The only issue is that PSR, the rolling three-year cycle, um, and it took into account for the most recent period of '21/22, '22/23, '23/24.
D
15:11Dave PowellGUEST
The Grealish sale and everything else included meant they were pretty much kind of, um, broke even.

If I pay all my bills, I am in profit per month despite being in debt to the bank." Does that analogy work?
