The Climate Denier's Playbook
Ever wonder why the same tired arguments against climate action keep popping up, no matter how many times they're debunked? The Climate Denier's Playbook digs into that exact puzzle. Hosts Rollie Williams from Climate Town and Nicole Conlan, a writer from The Daily Show, bring a unique blend to the table: they're both practicing comedians with serious academic credentials, holding Master's degrees in Climate Science & Policy and Urban Planning. Instead of just explaining the science, they use that expertise to dissect the persistent myths and orchestrated misinformation campaigns that muddy public understanding. Each episode unpacks a specific tactic or false narrative, tracing its origins and explaining how it spreads, all with a sharp, satirical edge. You'll hear a breakdown of the rhetoric, the players funding it, and the real-world consequences of these delaying tactics. This isn't a dry lecture; it's a deeply researched yet accessible comedy podcast that arms you with knowledge and context, making the frustrating landscape of climate discourse a bit more navigable and a lot more laughable. Tune in to understand the arguments so you can see them coming from a mile away.
