How Climate Became So Damn Political | Calfire Crackpots 33
The news certainly goes less than hard this week. Rather fittingly, we decided to go down the rabbit hole of how climate policy became the dog-and-pony-show that it is today. Beginning with Jimmy Carter and the energy crisis, we take a LONG detour at the hanging chads and come all the way to Grandpa Joe and how he fell off his bike. Enjoy. Or else.

Offshore drilling isn't cool, and it seems that no matter who is in the White House, it continues to expand. Today we discuss the how's and why's of new offshore drilling legislation as well as how it factors into Russian energy independence. Lastly, this episode was recorded BEFORE the terrible tragedy in Uvalde, Texas. Our hearts are with those who are suffering, and may ACTION result!

The Human Factor of Climate Change | Calfire Crackpots 31
Today we experiment with an audio-only format of podcasting, and kind of like it... Today's topic kicks off our exploration of the humanity of climate change. That is to say, how climate injustice, discrimination, and American-style racism have exacerbated the climate crisis and made it worse for some more so than others. Before that, however, we discuss the recent loss of credibility of yet another pillar of the American government as well as how we recover from it.
