Summary

The Free Press’s Lucy Biggers went from climate-crisis influencer to climate-alarm denier. I have no clue how big this episode’s carbon footprint is, but it’s worth all the coal we burned to make it happen. Lucy and I talk about her beginnings at NowThis, why climate change doesn’t scare us anymore, hipsters bringing back dung stoves, and how all that money celebrities raised to aid the victims of the California fires might as well have burned up.
