Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, was arrested in April for leading a protest against JP Morgan Chase’s continued investment in fossil fuels. Preet speaks with Kalmus about whether it is possible to stop the climate crisis, the science behind global warming, and the role of climate activism within the scientific community.

Plus, Preet’s thoughts on whether Chief Justice Roberts will find the leaker, and why the Southern District of New York seems to always get jurisdiction over high-profile cases. 

In the Insider bonus, Kalmus addresses international climate policy, nuclear energy, and the energy inefficiency of cryptocurrencies. To listen, try the membership for just $1 for one month: cafe.com/insider.
