Description:
What the frack?! That’s what the Green Docs ask Adam Aron, professor of psychology at UC San Diego and author of a new book “The Climate Crisis”, about our current state. Adam’s answer – we’re fracked. Or at least we will be if we don’t start changing our ways and leaving fossil fuels in the ground. He makes a candid and colorful case for why our actions now matter immensely; but also which ones don’t. You’ll learn that “greenwashing” is a real thing, along with other eco terms you probably didn’t know.
In the news – Nate and Bruce dig into how both “green” and “brown” economies offer a salve for our current federal deficit. You’ll be amazed by what Japanese researchers are doing with plastic-eating bacteria. And you’ll wonder what the heck is going on in Australia where a low flying helicopter appeared to stir an alligator mating frenzy. Just as Bruce visits the Aussies for a lecture; g’day mate. Ride out the whole episode for a rollercoaster of horror, hubris, and in the end – hope.
