Patrick Bigger

Patrick Bigger is the co-director of the Transit think tank. He is newsworthy due to his expertise and commentary on the environmental and geopolitical implications of recent international events. Specifically, he has been quoted regarding Donald Trump's views on resource control, describing them as reflecting a belief in "fossil-fuel imperialism," suggesting a disregard for international law and a belief in the US's entitlement to resources. Furthermore, Bigger's expertise is relevant in the context of a recent analysis highlighting the significant carbon emissions resulting from the conflict in the Middle East, specifically the US-Israel war on Iran. The analysis, which aligns with the work of the Climate and Community Institute, indicates that the conflict's emissions are substantial, exceeding those of many individual countries, making Bigger's perspective on the intersection of conflict, climate, and international policy highly relevant.
