Hosts Owen and Cassie talk about how to talk about climate change and why it matters. The media often frames human-caused climate change as a “belief” instead of asserting it as truth and attempts to provide balance to an issue in which only one side is based in fact. We cut through the bullshit and talk about how to frame climate change in ways that will actually bring solutions.

We also want to urge anyone who has not voted yet to make a plan to get to the polls on Tuesday, our climate and our democracy depend on it. Check govotetn.com for polling information.
