Political Climate Political Climate

I love your show!

I have to say that I was a little annoyed at Shane on the last episode. He doesn’t seem to understand a simple cause and effect. Children are angry and striking because those in power - especially Republicans but Democrats too (take NJ Governor Phil Murphy as an example) - are doing far too little to address climate change. The children shouldn’t be bitterly blamed, the cause of their anger should be addressed - adults are mortgaging their future. His comments (especially at the beginning of the episode) evoked my memories of those in the South who rejected the claims of civil rights leaders, and I think he will be ashamed of his comments in the future, as underneath it all it is clear that he is a thoughtful person.

I really wanted to like this podcast and stuck with it for the first season and then some...but without more of an intentional effort to incorporate female and POC perspectives, Political Climate is inevitably stuck in its own status quo echo chamber.

Pyper-you don’t need these guys...

I wanted to learn about the climate crisis and how I can make changes in my life. I found the podcast to be very informative and helpful. I like that it presents multiple and different point of views on this issue. the discussion is civil, thought provoking and inclusive of everyone’s thought. Because at the end of the day, climate crisis doesn’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. Keep up the good work!
