#GlobalWarming a.k.a. #ClimateChange is not a hoax, or a Chinese plot to something something. It’s a rapid change in the planet’s ability to trap heat thanks to the unnatural release of greenhouse gases into our thin atmospheric layer. Today, after hundreds of years of economic advancement (including the burning of carbon fuels) humans are finally starting to feel the burn. Philanthropic organizations, non-profits, governments, and individuals are now stepping up to help fight climate change, but what can they really do? #JeffBezos of #Amazon has pledged $10 billion dollars to the Bezos Earth Fund, but will that money actually help? What can we do to solve global warming?

I called Dr. Joe Hanson of ‘It’s Okay to Be Smart’ and formerly of ‘Hot Mess’ (a show entirely about Global Warming to have a conversation about these questions (and more).
