Podcast 9: The Fires | with Prof. Michael E. Mann (Patreon)

[Apologies, reposting with correct links!]Dear Patrons, 

I hope you're having a beautiful Sunday.If you don't have any plans this afternoon, may I suggest going outside for a 50 minute walk as you listen to our latest podcast, in which I chat about the topic of our latest Honest Government Ad with none-other than renowned climate scientist Michael E. Mann.As you can see the caliber of our podcast guests is following the same trajectory as temperature and CO2 levels in a hockey stick graph.I strongly believe that we need to be giving the mic to climate scientists more often, so we can amplify their voices.That's why I'm really stoked to bring you an interview with Professir Michael E. Mann, co-author of the famous hockey stick graph (1998) - a key figure in establishing the reality of anthropogenic climate change. And also, due to his position at the forefront of climate science research, a lighting rod for climate deniers who have tried to discredit him in order to cast doubt over the science.I was adamant that I didn't want this conversation to be stuck in the narrative of denial, as it often is. So for much of the podcast, we put all that aside and talk about the actual science - creating a space where we can actually move the conversation forward.I found this SOOOO refreshing, and reassuring. I mean, yes of course, the content is alarming. But for some reason, I felt a wave of reassurance wash over whilst listening to Mann talk about the science. Perhaps it's because listening to scientists feels like such a sane thing to be doing right now.I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed recording it.Podcast Links: Listen on YoutubeListen via our podcast host (includes Transcript!)
