What is the fate of our planet if left to four-year term politicians? How dire is the climate change situation? Doctor Michael Mann has spent 20 years studying climate science and bringing it to people’s attention.

Some of those people, want to lie about the dangers of climate change. Some are compelled to ignore climate change for money, to maintain political power. These people are spreading misinformation. Some misinformation says that individual actions like changing lightbulbs is enough to stop climate change. The scary truth from Dr. Michael Mann, is that we need systematic change or earth burns.

Dr. Michael Mann joined Thom for an extended session on climate change and asks what scares you the most?
