The Climate Cover-Up Episode

🎙️: https://bit.ly/3WH87oz

We’ve long known that the fossil fuel industry, and front groups like the Western States Petroleum Association, has created a system of denial and disinformation to prevent the public from knowing the full extent of the damage they’ve inflicted on the climate. But new revelations show that their knowledge goes back to the 1950s.

Now, as the city of Los Angeles is burning, and a president who calls climate change a “hoax” is about to re-enter office, these revelations are more important than ever.

In the first of a series of episodes that we are calling “Climate in the Age of Trump,” we talk with researcher Rebecca John with the Climate Investigation Center to discuss these findings.

Bio// Rebecca John is a Research Fellow at the Climate Investigations Center. She is also a freelance journalist and award-winning documentary film maker.

Jimmy Carter passed away today at the age of 100.

Our 2021 episode on Carter’s presidency: https://bit.ly/4iZAtDJ

As ex-president, he was a person we should all aspire to be- Habitat for Humanity, the Democracy Program that advocated for democracy and fair and open elections around the world, and his opposition to Israeli apartheid.

But as president, his domestic and foreign policies were the same as many other presidents.

His presidency marked the abandonment of New Deal politics, the Democratic embrace of neo-liberalism, and deregulation of key industries.

On the foreign policy front, he was a prologue to the brutal and dangerous era of Reaganism.

Since being President, Carter has been a genuinely decent human, a diplomat and humanitarian. But as President, he carried water for the ruling class, both at home and abroad.

Check out this encore episode about the Carter Administration from 2021.

Jimmy Carter died today.

As ex-president, Jimmy Carter was a truly decent human being and humanitarian- Habitat for Humanity, opposition to Israeli apartheid, the Democracy Program, much more..

But as president, his policies didn't differ from any other contemporary president and his administration served as a prologue for Reaganism, neo-conservativism and the Democratic Party’s abandonment of New Deal politics.

In 2021, Bob and I did a two part episode on the Carter administration.

Be kind to people, be hard on systems, particularly the systems of the powerful.

In this episode we discuss Jimmy Carter’s policies as President (1977-1981) both domestic and foreign. In Part 1, we look into his rise to prominence via the Trilateral Commission, his race-…
