    They ruin it with the climate apocalypse stuff. “We are all going to die” …. Ugh. Nonsense.

  • Appreciate environmental updates

    Thank you for your insights and enthusiastic reporting. I appreciate the environmental reporting you have completed. Climate change and biodiversity loss cannot be separated from political discourse. And welcome back Cobus!

  • Guests usually great

    I like that most of the guests actually come from the Global South and bring along all their life experiences. I do think that Eric tends to rely on straw man arguments too often to characterize American discourse about China. It’s more nuanced than he reflects, and it usually sounds like he’s just characterizing the whole right wing of the Republican Party. Most American just don’t think about China that much and most people who do understand that the various issues are really complicated.

  • Usually great

    The climate thing is getting annoying. Eric only visits California and DC and acts like a US expert. He is the arrogant “intellectual” that so many reject. He interrupts guests constantly and even belittles Cobus and Geraud
