Bonus Episode: Michael Mann's Journey Through the Climate Wars

Author: Trump on Earth October 5, 2018 Duration: 37:40

Today we're bring you an episode of a podcast we've been enjoying lately. Democracy Works, produced by Penn State's McCourtney Institute for Democracy, aims to rise above the daily news grind and take a broader look at issues impacting democracy — which can be just about anything. If you're looking for partisan bickering or hot takes on the news, this is not the podcast for you.

This episode is an interview with one of the most famous and vocal climate scientists. Michael Mann was on one of our earliest Trump on Earth episodes, but this conversation with him is a different take. We hope you enjoy it.

You can learn more about their podcast at democracyworkspodcast.com or search "Democracy Works" wherever you get your podcasts.
