1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Has this ever happened to you? You're looking at your

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: phone and it's just page after page of heat waves

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: and hurricanes and droughts, flooding, wildfires, melting bowler ice, deforestation,

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: oil spills, mass extinctions, and the hottest summer on record,

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: And you just have to stop and lie down because

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: all you can think is we've fed Hi. I'm Chris Turney,

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: and if you're plagued by climate induced existential dread, you're

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: not alone. That's why I'm launching Unfoking the Future. It's

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 1: a show about the climate crisis and what we can

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: do about it. Every episode we'll speak to someone tackling

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: the climate crisis in a clever way, Activists like Maggie Bird,

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: who says that we could change the world if we

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: just change our diet.

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: It's a single most effective thing you can do personally

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: is change the way you eat.

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: Right.

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: If ten thousand people eat just one plant based meal

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: a day for thirty days, that's seven million gallons of

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: water saved.

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: We'll meet scientists like doctor Lisa Van Sustram, who has said,

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: is climate anxiety, Oh.

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: It's even desirable, frankly to be outraged and angry. Many

23
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 3: studies show that that is the prelude to taking action.

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: We'll even talk to Bill Neither science guy.

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: You climate denier. Sorry, science is so settled. It's settled

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: on top is settled.

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: These people are making a real difference, and we're going

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: to learn from them about how we can make a

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: difference too, because sitting around doom scrolling isn't doing you

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: or the planet any good.

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: If you go into this thinking we're going to get

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: overwhelmed and lose, then we will tun it out people.

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: I think the antidote for eco anxiety's action. It gives

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: me hope to you know, if nothing else, We're not

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: in and alone.

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Listen to I'm Thking the Future starting on January tenth

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or whether you get

38
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: your podcasts. It's smart guests, big ideas, and a c

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: louds of fun. Hope to see you there.

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: We're in the future.
