Dr. Patrick Moore was a founding member of Greenpeace who served as both director and president in the early days of the organization before leaving due to divergent philosophies about the future of the green movement. These days, his most controversial claim has to do with our obsession with CO2 as the sole marker of planetary health. We dive into the surprisingly robust science of why he thinks so, the world of politically motivated science, and uncover some significant disagreements along the way. Buckle up, it's a bumpy ride.

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Michael Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
