A Matter Of Degrees Podcast: Is Climate Change Dead in TrumpWorld?

The co-hosts of this excellent podcast — A Matter Of Degrees — are not simply climate advocates, they’re scientists.

So they’re not tree huggers but highly skilled women of science who can take on any climate denier who produces a snowball to prove the earth is not warming to dangerous levels.

In the U.S., only nine percent of people actively dismiss the reality of climate change, and that has more to do with identity and politics than science.

“We’re focused not just on how people think, but also on how they feel, “says the podcast co-hosts, Dr. Leah Stokes and Dr. Katharine Wilkinson. “To take meaningful action on climate change, we need to reckon with our emotions — guilt, fear, anger, whatever they may be. We think it’s most important to work for policy and political progress. Let’s focus on collectively achieving structural change.”

Season four has just begun, and the co-hosts tackle the current climate issues surrounding the election and its aftermath.

Episode one of season four was about Project 2025, which has been all over the news lately. But what exactly is this conservative playbook for the Federal government? And what does it mean for climate policy?
