Musing by Me

Climate matters

Plus: your broadcast, points to the effects of CC locally with great effect. Negative: your broadcast, fails miserably at pointing fingers at the causes of CC. My quote: “fossil fuels are our destruction”! Neutral: people want/need hope. I grew up knowing our world would end in nuclear winter. Now I “believe” our end is a CO2 summer. I was wrong the first time; let’s keep our fingers crossed! I recommend a podcast called “Drilled”. Because!

Great podcast

Thanks for the variety of content

My Favorite Climate Podcast

Excellent topics. Impactful, but brief. Always interesting guests who leave an imprint and reinforce what I’m doing to reduce CO2. Thanks for all that you do!

Needs Native voices!

I hope you begin to Center the voices and stories of Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and environmental justice activists more! Very few of these stories are about Native sovereignty; would be great to see more!! NoDAPL, NoKXL, IdleNoMore, 350 Pacific, and so many more... These folks are the rock stars of the movement against climate change; they have been doing the work for centuries that settlers are just coming around to, and they are the communities most impacted by climate change and pollution.

great pod cast

About the science, culture, and also the cost of ignoring our changing climate. Must have if you know any deniers of human induced climate change.
