The oil and gas industry has known for decades that climate change is real and they covered it up for profit. We are joined this week by Hazel Thayer to discuss the details behind this travesty, which many are now calling history’s largest corporate campaign of mass murder.

We got a lot of feedback on episode 304 (about Anger) and episode 305 (about political transition and in particular the sections on violence) and we thought, hey, maybe we can just continue both of those conversations together, in a very special bonus episode, and see if that dialogue generates anything interesting. Spoiler alert: it did. Also, we did some sketches. I know we usually do so maybe I don’t need to say that, but, I don’t know, I just wanted to make it clear because I think the sketches in this episode are great.

This week we welcome Mark Z Jacobson to the show to lay out the case for a full immediate transition to renewable energy, and how he’s crunched the numbers to show that wind / water / solar can meet our energy needs right now, clean our air, and address climate change.

In 1944, the precursor to the CIA published the ‘Simple Sabotage Field Manual’. Now declassified, sections of this document are sometimes spread online framed as a guide to disrupting left-wing movements. In this special bonus episode, the Wrong Boys read the document, and are surprised by what they find.

In this very special 444th episode (sent back in time from the future) the Wrong Boys discuss the 4/4/4 Movement. A new and exciting labor movement to split the work year into three equal parts: four months for work, four months for vacation, and four months for democracy.
