The Great Climate Debate

This is the place where we try to understand the human aspect of climate change. Why are people so passionate about and so divided by the issue? I aim to tease out on which points they agree and which they don't. If you have been studying global, regional, or local climate or even a subject even remotely related, I'd love to have you on the podcast!
