EnvironMental Podcast leans into the sustainability stories you might have missed.

Not to scare you but the quiet comfort of predictable seasons is shattering as our world faces unprecedented storms, searing heat, and alarming shifts.

In this episode, Aub and Court deliver a vital climate reality check: exploring shocking global extreme weather impacts, exposing governmental greenwashing in our National Parks, and sharing unexpected good news from around the globe.

We then dive into what science says we can do, alongside a provocative take on humanity's true climate position and the challenge of societal inertia. Tune in for essential truths and a powerful call to action.
