Nobel prize winning climatologist Michael Mann who has a new book, Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth’s Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis, was Al’s guest on the Al Franken Podcast Oct. 7.

This was a useful podcast for those of us who don’t know a lot about climate change and have been too afraid to find out.  It was realistic but not terrifying to listen to. They discuss why the climate change that is happening now is different than at other times of change in the history of earth.

Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.

The choice is ours, Mann asserts. We can create a disaster movie or we can create a livable planet.
