Description

This week, Mighty Earth CEO Glenn Hurowitz joins the  show again to discuss his group's new report "The Coronavirus Climate Profiteers... and the Climate Heroes Doing the Right Thing in a Time of Crisis." Glenn explains which corporations are doing the most to exploit the pandemic to pollute more and how deregulation and new policy could help them do it.  Also, Ty and Brock discuss Robinson Meyer's story on Trump's new auto rollback and how it seems to be objectively bad by the administration's own accounting. And they review a new Stanford study that demonstrates the link between forest loss and the spread of disease. Ya know, the usual fun stuff.  As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.
