Summary

On this episode of Gam v’Gam, I speak with Lucy Biggers—a former climate activist turned anti-climate alarmism creator. She is the creator of a viral video series, “Calming Climate Charts,” that counters some of the scariest misconceptions about climate change. At her day job, she is the Head of Social Media for The Free Press.

Lucy shares her journey from passionate advocacy to questioning media narratives and the broader climate movement. We discuss the historical context of climate debates, the complexity of data, and the media’s influence on public perception. Lucy also opens up about the emotional toll of climate anxiety, her time away from social media, and her return to public conversation with a more balanced outlook—one that embraces truth in journalism and market-based solutions.
