• Want to find out more about the early – and accurate – climate science work of fossil fuel companies and how they went on to deny the science and delay action on cutting carbon pollution? Check out this excellent summary about how Exxon disputed climate findings for years.
• To learn more about the “3.5% rule,” here’s an excellent BBC article about how a small minority can change the world!
• In light of the climate emergency, Adam McKay has decided to shelve his film about the serial killer lobbying the government to legalize murder to focus on movies related to the climate crisis.

What if we could unfuck this mess by just changing the food we eat? Maggie Baird joins host Chris Turney to talk about animal agriculture, plant-based diets, and how she's trying to unf*ck the music industry.

Show notes from Chris Turney:

• There is a wealth of great research into the carbon (and climate) impacts of how we eat. But if you’re interested in learning more, a great place to start is a research article called “Vegans, vegetarians, fish-eaters and meat-eaters in the UK show discrepant environmental impacts” by Peter Scarborough and colleagues, published in the science magazine Nature Food.
