Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), a vocal climate hawk, who is warning that President Joe Biden’s climate record is 'insufficient' to win young voters – highlighting a tension point within the Democratic party about how far he should go in trying to curb the oil and gas industry.

Chevron is holding them back from 5 stars

Great podcast but supported by chevron…

rxsurfer ,

Mixed bag

Reporting on climate crisis mixed with softball interviews of politicians and mouthpieces for the fossil fuel industry.

Brittpdx1 ,

Too short, not enough insights

This has the potential to be a really good podcast, but I expect more context and background for the stories.
