Sweden garnered both intense criticism and high praise for its  conservative pandemic response. How did the country's COVID-19 outcomes compare to those of the US and other countries? From deforestation to  climate change and pollution, headline after headline warns that we're  rapidly destroying our planet. These scandalous assertions are out of step with the latest evidence.

Join host Cameron English as he sits down Dr. Chuck Dinerstein to break down these stories on episode 32 of the Science Dispatch podcast:

Sweden has been the poster child of the live-free-or-die, no-lockdown  crowd. The Great Barrington Declaration has its roots in the Swedish  response. But beyond those snippets, what actually took place there? It  is time for many of us, including myself, to find out.

Dreary, despondent headlines about pollution and climate change are  the norm. But they are not painting an accurate picture. Many countries  are making serious efforts to protect the environment. Human ingenuity  is the ultimate resource.
