Summary
This week on the podcast we get outraged at the logical fallacies that comprise Michael Moore's new film, "Planet of The Humans" and we call up Jonathan Koomey, Climate Energy Expert from Stanford University to give us an objective look into the claims of this film.
In our main interview, we sit down with Jane Fonda. Recipient of various accolades including two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, seven Golden Globe Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, the AFI Life Achievement Award, and the Honorary Golden Lion...need we go on? She tells us about the transformative experience of civil disobedience, and how celebrities have a unique opportunity to be "repeaters" as she calls it, to send the message on climate all across the world.
Come join the conversation on social media!
