The Hideous Irony of Our Power Structures (634)

We start with a new Paris Agreement study that seeks to measure the impacts of different countries’ approaches to climate change. We then look at a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against the fossil fuel industry, the madness of arctic drilling, insect sperm and deadly seaweed. We end with a discussion of Iran and the jailing and murdering of activists worldwide.
