Right after Marshall recorded the intro, activists from Climate Defiance stormed the stage of the Abundance 2024 conference he's MCing in DC. They interrupted Matt Yglesias's interview with The Atlantic's Derek Thompson on the "Abundance Agenda" because of Matt's support for fracking. Today's guest is Foreign Policy's Cameron Abadi, author of Climate Radicals: Why Our Environmental Politics Isn't Working. Marshall and Cameron discuss why doom-centric radical activism isn't advancing the environmental policy agenda in Europe, the state of climate politics in the U.S., and the broader debate over whether it is best to work outside or within the system to enact change.

Thanks for clarifying the Lincoln logo. The logos for the Lincoln Project and the Lincoln Network are so similar that at first glance it was confusing and created apprehension.

what a shit podcast. another hypocritical GOP podcast. they cry about the crackdown china took on honk kong and what china is doing to the Muslims. yet, ignore America's anti protest laws and physical voilence and child separations and are full in support of isreal and their open air prison and crimes against the Palestinians.

so so so wrong on this drug crisis. the CDC made up the opioid crisis. Please read twitter accounts from these two doctors. Dr. Thomas Kline has videos that take you step by step on YouTube, but the highlights are: the OD problem is fentanyl in illegal heroin. But the CDC is trying to control heroin OD by cutting opioid meds to chronic pain patients like me. The Twitter accounts of these two Docs are the men who can set out the ACTUAL facts @thomasklinemd and @danlairdmd. Opioid meds are not like meth or coke. They addict only through a genetic mutation. Heroin addiction rate is consistent for the thousands of years that opioids have been used. The problem is that millions of chronic pain patients are being thrown off their meds for no medical reason. The problem is NOT from doctors or chronic pain patients.
