  "textContent": "In this episode, we speak with Roger Pielke Jr. about how what was lauded as the \"business as usual\" climate scenario known as RCP8.5 became \"implausible\" to the IPCC. Pielke also shares his insights on natural decarbonisation through greater efficiency and how he was investigated by the White House when he broke with the climate consensus.\n\nThe post The Death of RCP8.5 | Roger Pielke Jr appeared first on Watts Up With That?.",
