E61 Rollie Williams: How to reduce carbon footprint by going local?
Description
Rollie is the creator and host of Climate Town, a docu-comedy video series focused on the climate crisis. He moved to NYC to pursue comedy in 2013, and spent six years performing on every stage that would have him. Eventually, he began hosting a climate-focused talk show where he played an unhinged Al Gore on an “I-told-you-so” tour, interviewing comedians and climate scientists. Every scientist told him the same thing: we’re woefully unprepared for the coming environmental crisis.
Recognizing that climate change would be the defining issue of our time, he enrolled in Columbia University to get a Master’s degree in Climate Science and Policy so he could actually know what he was talking about. Then in 2020, he combined his degree and comedy background to start Climate Town–a YouTube channel blending comedy and exhaustive research to get people talking about climate change.
