Is it the earth that needs saving from climate change or is it us, humans? Do cow's fart really creat that big of an environmental impact? Why are we talking about climate change now when scientists have been banging on about it for decades? What are some of the direct and indirect impacts that climate change has on human health, besides the obvious air pollution and respiratory symptoms? In this episode, I talk about a few different ideas or ways to think about climate change, which focuses on the fact that it's probably us, humans that need saving and not the planet itself. Because the planet may be just fine- it will flood, it will freeze, it will be on fire, it will evolve but we can't evolve with it.
