S4 E2: The Climate For Change

On our return to Argentina from Antarctica, I sat down with Zachary Brown, a climate scientist and naturalist aboard our ship, to get some clarity about climate change, not just on Antarctica, but on our impact on the climate throughout the world. Just a heads up: Zach doesn’t mince words, and what he has to say is probably going to raise some eyebrows, like it did mine.

In our chat, Zachary discussed the propaganda campaign waged by the fossil fuel industry over the past 60 years. Here are some resources about this behavior:

Oil ads that told us climate change was nothing (The Guardian)
