Why Climate Change Won't Be Solved Easily (w/ Dr. Michael Mann )

Solutions for Climate Change are going to have to be much more radical and much more powerful than the solutions we have on the table right now.

Should the government call a climate emergency?

There are truly climate change crisis impacts. We need to stop using fossil fuels – yet Trump supports fossil fuels. If we don’t stop using fossil fuels, we will never prevent the warming of our atmosphere and the greenhouse effect.

Re-forestation is only a partial answer, although is important to help with CO2 pollution. Methane is another potential problem with the melting of Arctic and Antarctic glaciers.

Winner of the Nobel Prize for the Environment, Dr. Michael Mann joined Thom to update us on the fate of our world and whether we can stop our own destruction.
