Are you anxious because you feel like the world is ending? Well the good news you aren’t crazy and it definitely is. In fact scientists confirm that all the predictions of a fiery climate change apocalypse are being realised promptly ahead of schedule! And you can thank the fossil fuel industry and years of political inaction for that one. 

This week co-hosts James and Cat both reveal that thinking about the climate apocalypse is their day job and we all get our climate nerd on and talk about what it will actually take to slow down global warming and safeguard our future.
