A weakened heating law, the softening of the climate protection law, stumbling protest movements: 2023 will not go down in history as a year of climate progress.

"The problem is that we in Germany carry a backpack of a successful economic history," says the science journalist. "Other nations don't have that, they can start from scratch. But I believe that if we get a different feeling: not the compulsion 'you have to', but the desire to do so because it's fun, then the energy transition will be a liberation."
How do we break away from the old way of thinking and throw off the backpack? And how can artificial intelligence help us do this? That's what you'll hear this week in this week's Climate Report podcast.
