Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 12 ratings
  • International focus

    Most climate podcasts cover what we can do personally to fight climate change or focus only on the US. This one covers what is really needed to make a difference—global coordination and government action. The conversations have a ton of useful information and I can understand it as a non-expert!
