Speaker 1: Has this ever happened to you? You're looking at your
Speaker 1: phone and it's just page after page of heat waves
Speaker 1: and hurricanes and droughts, flooding, wildfires, melting bowler ice, deforestation,
Speaker 1: oil spills, mass extinctions, and the hottest summer on record,
Speaker 1: And you just have to stop and lie down because
Speaker 1: all you can think is we've fed Hi. I'm Chris Turney,
Speaker 1: and if you're plagued by climate induced existential dread, you're
Speaker 1: not alone. That's why I'm launching Unfoking the Future. It's
Speaker 1: a show about the climate crisis and what we can
Speaker 1: do about it. Every episode we'll speak to someone tackling
Speaker 1: the climate crisis in a clever way, Activists like Maggie Bird,
Speaker 1: who says that we could change the world if we
Speaker 1: just change our diet.
Speaker 2: It's a single most effective thing you can do personally
Speaker 2: is change the way you eat.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: If ten thousand people eat just one plant based meal
Speaker 2: a day for thirty days, that's seven million gallons of
Speaker 2: water saved.
Speaker 1: We'll meet scientists like doctor Lisa Van Sustram, who has said,
Speaker 1: is climate anxiety, Oh.
Speaker 3: It's even desirable, frankly to be outraged and angry. Many
Speaker 3: studies show that that is the prelude to taking action.
Speaker 1: We'll even talk to Bill Neither science guy.
Speaker 3: You climate denier. Sorry, science is so settled. It's settled
Speaker 3: on top is settled.
Speaker 1: These people are making a real difference, and we're going
Speaker 1: to learn from them about how we can make a
Speaker 1: difference too, because sitting around doom scrolling isn't doing you
Speaker 1: or the planet any good.
Speaker 3: If you go into this thinking we're going to get
Speaker 3: overwhelmed and lose, then we will tun it out people.
Speaker 2: I think the antidote for eco anxiety's action. It gives
Speaker 2: me hope to you know, if nothing else, We're not
Speaker 2: in and alone.
Speaker 1: Listen to I'm Thking the Future starting on January tenth
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or whether you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. It's smart guests, big ideas, and a c
Speaker 1: louds of fun. Hope to see you there.
Speaker 2: We're in the future.
