Is there a place where Yudkowsky has talked about consciousness? I have found the Zombie Series, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm more curious how he thinks it works more than why Zombies don't work.

Also, is there a place where Yudkowsky has talked about Climate Change?

I've looked for both, but I couldn't find either.

I read somewhere in his earlier writing that he hopes that AI will explain us what is qualia. So it looks like he postponed the consciousness problem until creation of (friendly) AI.

That sounds more like a cute way of dodging the question.
