62. Greta Thunberg

In this episode we talk about Greta Thunberg, a climate activist who got her start at the age of 15. We discuss how her fears of climate change, while very valid, have been dismissed by the media and global leaders. Then we follow the path that Greta had to take to be taken seriously and the lack of media coverage other young activists have dealt with. Finally, we discuss the impact she has had on people her age and across the planet.
