Fossil Fuel Pathways with Dr Angus McNelly

Fossil Fuel Pathways with Dr Angus McNelly

In this episode of Ask the Geographer podcast, Dr. Angus McNelly, a lecturer in international development at King's College London, discusses the intricate relationship between fossil fuels and the development of countries, particularly in China and Latin America. He explains how the post-World War II era marked a significant shift in global politics and economics, leading to the rise of fossil fuels as a cornerstone of development. Angus highlights the geopolitical transformations that occurred during this time, including the formation of OPEC and the emergence of new nations that sought to control their natural resources for economic growth. Angus also discusses how developing countries and emerging economies can path the way to reducing fossil fuel dependency for a more sustainable future.
