A Fever Is Spreading Across the Pacific Ocean - Thom Hartmann
The Pacific Ocean is currently "running a fever," with marine heat waves covering over 30% of the global ocean—a three-fold increase since the 1980s. Thom Hartmann breaks down the alarming science behind these heat domes and their connection to super typhoons, wildfires across Europe and the US, and extreme weather events.
While the planet faces a climate crisis, Donald Trump is doubling down on fossil fuels and reportedly interfering with international sports by calling the head of FIFA to "fix" a red card. We also look at the high-stakes political battle over the Supreme Court, where Trump recently admitted that ethical reforms and term limits would be the "death" of the Republican Party. From the "Save America Act" to the fight for housing affordability, discover why the future of American democracy and the planet are at a critical crossroads.
