44: Turn and Face the Strain

The End of the World with Michael and Stu

This week we are covering the COP29 climate conference which took place over the last two weeks in Baku, Azerbaijan. Have they solved the issue? Was this climate conference in actuality a "meet up" for lobbyists in the fossil fuel industry? What is the connection between climate change and social justice, and is this connection one of the reasons the conference has been largely ignored in the American media, particularly in the wake of Trump's 2024 reelection? We answer all of these questions and more!
Additionally the episode opens with a brief discussion of...some news...regarding the subject of our last episode, Cormac McCarthy. And we also get into the details that have been revealed about Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE...and fear not, the details are..."great."
