Highlights from the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer weekly television show.
World Bank President David Malpass has come under a political firestorm over his views on climate change science. But is he a climate denier?
No way, he tells Ian Bremmer on GZERO World when asked about the elephant in the room. Meanwhile, the institution Malpass leads has, among many priorities, two big crises to deal with: energy and food.
Malpass laments how Russia's war in Ukraine has hurt climate progress by creating more appetite for fossil fuels. Why? Countries are hungry for energy, and even Europe is scouring the world for more coal and natural gas.
And what about food? For the World Bank chief, whether we have enough to feed the world next year depends on two variables: the weather and how big producers like China, India, and the US respond to global shortages.
Every week on GZERO World with Ian Bremmer, Ian explains the key global stories of the moment, sits down for an in-depth conversation with the newsmakers and thought leaders shaping our world.
Watch GZERO World on US public television and on GZERO's YouTube channel. GZERO WORLD with Ian Bremmer is a local public television program presented by THIRTEEN PBS.
