    The First Climate Change Publication

    Achilles tells Emma about the world's first climate change publication, which came from Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius in 1896.

Also, how is Greta Thunberg tied into a multi-generational climate change conspiracy theory? Need more Not All That Human?
