This is the third episode of the series:  Unpacking Climate Change: The Science, the Myths, and the Urgency of Action.  

With guest Thomas Schueneman of Global Warming is Real. Listen to Tom here, and sign up for his newsletter here.

Thus far, we have covered the original scientific research reports and how they were co-opted to initiate the trend towards the misinformation and false narratives we see today.  We’ve also examined how the mixed messaging and confusing communications have successfully numbed the average consumer and business leader.  And today, we jump into equally provocative topics.

The Key Highlights are --

-The Chicken Little Effect: Why Clarity Matters

-The Human Response: Doom, Denial, and Everything In Between

-Electric Vehicles: Not the Silver Bullet

-The Recycling Conundrum: Progress and Pitfalls

-Consumerism and the Great Acceleration

-Overwhelm and Adaptation: The Modern Dilemma

-Actionable Advice: Small Steps, Big Impact

-Collective Commitment for a Sustainable Future
