WEBVTT - Coming Soon: Carbon Bros

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Did an election that was supposed to revolve around women's

0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>issues actually come down to the plight of men young men.

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>In the final months of the election, Donald Trump reached

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 2>out to young male voters on popular platforms that they

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 2>subscribed to.

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I want to thank some people real quick.

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to think the no boys aiden Ross theil Vaughan.

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Also, what the boys are gonna last, but not least

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.639
<v Speaker 3>the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan. For generations, the U

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 3>vote has been one that has largely favored Democrats, but

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 3>in recent polling, we're seeing that advantage is starting to slip,

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 3>especially among young men.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>You've heard it from cable news, pundits, Republican and Democratic strategists,

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and your favorite YouTuber. Young men swung the twenty twenty

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>four US presidential election for Trump in a big way.

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Understanding what's driving the success of so called broadcasters and

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>how to reach the young men in their grips on

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>everyone's mind right now. But we're zooming in on a

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>different corner of the manosphere, the intersection between male grievance

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>culture and climate denial.

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>When you pop in your earbuds and enter the virtual

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>man cave, you might not be paying attention to mentions

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>of global warming, but it actually comes up a lot.

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Some of these guys are explicitly right wing warriors, like

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Kirk and Jordan Peterson, but many are just macho

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>entertainers who like to talk about typical men's hobbies sports, cars, sex,

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 2>and dating, but with a little bit of climate denial

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>mixed in well spice. See, here's the thing, this climate

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 2>change narrative, this is a really goofy thing that people

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>on the left are talk about. This is because of

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>climate change.

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>This is climate change causes fire.

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 2>It's an intrinsic part of life to feel guilty in

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>relationship to nature. No, it's difficult for us to live

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 2>in harmony with the natural world had for the natural

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 2>world to live in harmony with us. I'm being one

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent serious.

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I cannot think of a single one reason.

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 3>I cannot think of one single reason why global warming

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 3>is bad.

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 2>In case you didn't recognize those voices, and you're lucky

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 2>if you don't. That was Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, and

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Schultz, whose combined online following is more than every

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>major cable news network together. And who am I? I'm

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Penny. I'm a journalist who's been tracking the rise

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>of climate denial among men on my show Non Toxic.

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I've also written about this kind of stuff for The

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.399
<v Speaker 2>New Yorker, The New York Times, in GQ.

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm Amy Westervelt, climate reporter and host of Drilled.

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.399
<v Speaker 1>In this mini series, we'll be asking what's wrong with men,

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Why are they less likely than women to believe in

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>climate change or take personal or political action against it,

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and what does their reluctance to deal with the climate

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 1>crisis have to do with their shift towards the right

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>in general. We're calling it carbon Bros.

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>We're going to show how the manisphere started shilling for

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 2>fossil fuels and why the climate crisis became tied up

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 2>with the culture war against feminism and so called gender ideology.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll trace how gas guzzlers became symbols of throbbing American manhood,

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 2>and we'll break down the boy math solutions offered by

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 2>doomers into abundance Bros. Along the way, you'll hear from researchers, historians, scientists, activists,

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and regular guys who are trying to navigate the climate

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 2>crisis and the crisis of masculinity.

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.119
<v Speaker 1>And we'll try to figure out what can be done

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>to bring men back into the climate movement. You take

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the Red, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>how deep the rabbit hole it goes.

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 2>If you want to find out how deep the rabbit

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>hole goes, tune into carbon Bros.
