Summary
Climate change the scientists tell us is an existential threat to the future of the planet. But what do we do about it? And how much time do we actually have before we're completely engulfed by rising sea levels, melting ice caps, and ever more extreme weather events from out of control wildfires to floods, tsunamis, and other natural disasters? Fresh off COP26 in Glasgow, Yahoo News' Ben Adler and David Knowles join to discuss our path forward. Also, Yahoo News Reporter Caitlin Dickson joins to paint the picture post verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
