Hello and welcome staying home your revolutionary guide to the Green New Deal. This is Dr. Fox. Although for the next six weeks we're not going to call this show staying home anymore. We're calling it going out.

Going out and voting, going out and voting, going out and voting, do not stay home, especially not in this election. That's one of the big topics of my conversation today with Professor climate scientist author.

Incredible communicator on climate change, Michael man. He's been on the show before. Michael man, not the film director who directed seat.

Michael man, the climate scientist of the hockey stick in the climate wars, one of the most effective communicators on climate change that I know. And one of the most attacked by.

Oh, so many places from from everyone from the fossil industry to the right wing to everything he's been through the ringer and he's still out there campaigning. He's in central PA.

At Penn State and he runs the climate labs there. We're going to talk about the fires in California. We're going to talk about Donald Trump, we're going to talk about why this election is not just an essential moment in terms of preserving American democracy as Ben jealous said this could be the last election if we don't defeat Donald Trump.

But also how this could be the last election that matters in terms of climate change. We have a planetary emergency going on hurricanes in the Atlantic hurricanes and the Gulf fires raging out in the West.

I had to have Michael man back on because I think there there is a continued attack. And in this case in neo-Malphousian attack.

In this case a rather unscientific attack on all the principles of motivation in politics and climate change.

So it's my great pleasure to have Michael man back on the show because he just lays it out. He's just playing his day. These are the stakes. This is what has to happen. This is what we have to do.

And you know I've been experiencing online a wave of attacks against any time I come out and say my own personal space that I want people to vote for Joe Biden. There is a wave of attacks coming supposedly from the green side of things the more progressive side of things.

And to a person who wants to work on climate when you look at Joe Biden having two trillion dollar climate change when you look at all of the things that stack up and line up.

And when you look at Donald Trump saying that the wildfires out west are caused by leads and that we know that we have no time at all left to make the structural changes that we need to make.

Huge reductions in carbon emissions every single year for the next 10 years or else we are done for as civilization and likely done for as a species.

When you know you don't have that time. The principles of this are practical. And we're going to get into that. I'm going to tell some stories about Joe Biden. Michael man is going to lay it out for us. Stay with us as we bring on great climate scientists and author Michael man.

Michael the last time we had you on the show. We were talking about wildfires in Australia because you had just come back from Australia.

And you were there during the peak of fire season which was in a horrible situation.

And we just got picked up this program by WJFF my local hometown radio station here in the Delaware River Basin Pennsylvania and cats and the Catskills.

And they re as our first as our first broadcast they broadcast that show.

And I was listening to our conversation about California about Australian wildfires. And you said now Australian wildfire season is overlapping California and wildfire season.

So we don't have all the right equipment that has to be transported around the world. This has got to be one of the most vivid nightmares that you predict come true.
