Ep. 84 - Bitterly Cold Global Warming ft. Richard Lindzen: A bitterly cold spate of global warming has struck the East Coast, freezing harbors and blanketing whole cities under its sweltry frost. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, this bomb cyclone occurs when a "cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, and despite the intense name the phenomenon is actually quite common, particularly in the northern Atlantic regions. But forget all the science mumbo-jumbo! The mainstream media have wasted no time in identifying the clear culprit behind the frigid cold front: global warming. Because weather is weather, not climate, except when it’s convenient for Democrats, in which case the weather becomes the climate. We’ll analyze this bitterly cold global warming with former MIT atmospheric physicist and catastrophic climate change skeptic Richard Lindzen. Then, This Day in History!

Patient Zero: The Triangle: When you're fighting off a cold or flu, it's easy to imagine the battle is being waged solely inside the confines of your body.

Patient Zero investigates the spaces where people and pathogens collide. It is a story about Lyme disease, but it is also a story about uncertainty, and what to do in the face of it. by Outside/In
