36. The Great Australian Inferno with Kevin Rudd
About this episode
It's 2020! We're back! It's the "super year" for climate and the most consequential decade in human history! This week Tom and Christiana talk with former Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd. Kevin shows us the roots of why the Conservative Party in Australia and the Murdoch media empire are perpetuating a state of climate inaction, and why he's optimistic that the Australian fires are the turning point for humanity and our climate.
