Featuring: Bray Wright, Daphny H. Adams, JB, Toronto Scott, Dasklein (Baby Boomer Fighter at Large), KML, Dick Blister — and of course, JP & KC.

KC and JP discuss how adaptation is more than learning how to live on a warmer planet. It isn't just about retreating from the rising seas, the burning forests, the flooded plains, or the spreading aridification. It's about our emotional response to the knowledge that everything we know, everything we take for granted—clean water, clean air, ample calories— will become scarce. But more than that, the plants and animals that we relate to. The wild beings that have inhabited this planet with us will leave us behind. Alone. We just might be the lone monoculture on planet Earth. Nothing good comes from that. And knowing it hurts. So we laugh. We cry. But we try to laugh more. And get high.

Come soak in the weird with KC & JP as they set out to give newer listeners a fully baked thesis. Of what? That question remains unanswered. However, they dive right into our impending extinction crisis and try their best to keep from being pulled under by using the best tool in the climate-change-stress toolbox: humor. What IS CO2's contribution to things like mysterious meowing cats and cannibalistic serial killers?

Our man on the inside shares his view from the fall 2019 Extinction Rebellion protests in London. Have the protestors meaningfully connected with the result of what they're asking for?

After a few days on the street with XR, JA tells us what's good, bad, and weird about XR. JP & KC wonder what, if any, lessons can be applied to the US. JA makes contact with the Fairy King. JA gives the double bird to "the" Queen and her golden chariot (which KC and JP are surprised to learn is real).
