Chris Mooney, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with the Washington Post and a lecturer at Yale School of the Environment, describes his months-long investigation into the world’s climate-warming emissions, which found that countries are dramatically under-reporting their climate impact—by as much as 13 billion tons of greenhouse gases annually. In his talk, hear how the gap in data was discovered, what accounts for the discrepancies, and about the data set built to hold the entire world accountable for what it is truly emitting.
