About this Episode

For the first time in 112 years, no Atlantic hurricane formed by peak season. A former climate reporter says she knows why stories like this get buried.

In this episode, I get into Lucy Biggers' admission that she never covered positive climate stories because they would "muddy the narrative." We look at the record-quiet season, a Language Watch clip on how global cooling became global warming and then "climate change," and Bernie Sanders in 2020 saying we had six or seven years to act.

It's been six years. I keep thinking about the kids raised to believe the planet had a deadline.
