| 0:00.0 | Hey podcast listeners, this is Greg Dalton. You're listening to our new C1 review, a podcast connecting highlights from three shows. Thanks for joining our conversation. |
| 0:13.5 | This is Climate One, a conversation about powering America's future. I'm Greg Dalton. Today we're looking at information and misinformation about climate science. |
| 0:24.4 | Fossil fuel companies have created doubt in the minds of many Americans about the reality of |
| 0:29.0 | carbon pollution. Scientists have not been effective fighting back. So many people in the scientific |
| 0:36.2 | community thought that if we just explained our work more clearly, |
| 0:39.3 | had better graphs, then people would understand and would all work out. |
| 0:44.3 | It's very clear that that's not what's going on. |
| 0:47.3 | Telling a good story is important in reaching out to the public, but collecting the data is also vital. |
| 1:03.4 | We are building the world's largest constellation of satellites. Our goal over the next 12 months is to take a compassive image of the entire planet once every 24 hours. |

| 2:05.7 | the facts straight and talking straight with citizens. We'll also look at whether some controversial |
| 2:10.7 | energy technologies, such as fracking and nuclear, are making things better or worse. First, let's |
| 2:17.0 | look at some facts on the ground, or rather in the ocean. |
| 2:20.2 | Climate change is not just warming the air, but the water as well, |
| 2:23.7 | hurting plants and animals in the sea. |
| 2:26.0 | But scientists are using satellites far above to plot a course of action. |
| 2:30.2 | Fishermen and consumers are also getting into the act. |
