The Crumbling E9-Climate Change Arc P2 - At Least...

The Crumbling ·

2025/02/12

The co-hosts talk about how the 1960's had such bad air quality that parts of 1965 were compared to the days after 9/11 in New York. They also learned that that year was just awful in general, and may rival 2020 and 2025 for sheer audacity in being a bad and uncertain time to live. The recurring villain makes a return trip because how could the American Petroleum Institute leave anything good and decent alone? The co-hosts learn what the PSAC is and that it sounds dirty.
