  • Very informative!

    Started listening to this podcast recently, and have enjoyed all of them so far. He certainly deals with sometimes heavy issues, but does it in a way that’s easy to understand and even a little entertaining. It’s also great that there are resources provided in each podcast if the listener wants to be able to take some action for themselves.

  • Better future based on facts

    Michael has had my ear on social media for a while, appreciate his factual approach to all things climate. There’s a lot of misinformation and misinterpretation surrounding climate science, models and prediction scenarios. Happy to see a podcast that is grounded and neither saccharine in optimism nor stuck in doomerism.
