The climate debate is chaos. Activists and skeptics can't talk to each other and for every article suggesting one point of view there's another refuting it. People are either malicious world-killers or useful idiot dupes.
Expect to learn why the climate change debate is so difficult to navigate, why it's supposedly impossible to find an impartial climate scientist, Charles' suggestions for how to navigate this conversation while not losing your mind and much more...

0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome back to the show. |
0:04.5 | My guest today is Charles Eisenstein. |
0:07.0 | He's a public speaker and author specializing in the ecology movement. |
0:10.8 | The climate debate is chaos. |
0:13.4 | Activists and skeptics can't talk to each other, and for every article suggesting one point |

1:11.6 | agree about which points of view are accurate or false. |
1:15.5 | I definitely also feel a bit of an obligation to try and present both sides of an argument |
