*THIS IS A RE-EDITED RERELEASE OF SZN 2 EP 13*

Finally some science sh*t for you all! J returns with his Science Moment this week and in honor of Earth Day (April 22) we are talking about CLIMATE CHANGE! This shouldn’t be a controversial subject but unfortunately… some people think it's fake. This is gonna be a hard episode because we're gonna be dropping some facts that might scare you BUT just remember, don't lose hope!

J discusses the difference between weather and climate, what is CO2 and why is it bad that it's in the atmosphere, how the ocean absorbs 90% of the Earth's HEAT and why that's bad, acidic oceans, last time the Earth got hot af, what rising sea levels means, why planting billions of trees kinda doesn't help.. and the IMPORTANCE AND URGENCY of supporting Indigenous Peoples initiatives to save the Earth!

On every episode J & Lesly feature something they’re loving right now called a Double Feature. We call it our DOUBLE FEATURE because there's two of us and we wanna feature some sh*t. ☺ It can be a podcast, tv show, music, book or anything!

Our Double Feature for this episode is the AMAZING FUN ENTERTAINING animated film, ⁠Princess Mononoke on HBOMax⁠ and the LGBTQ/Two-Spirit Indigenous artist Bobby Sanchez's song ⁠Queche 101 Land Back Please⁠.

⁠FIND OUT WHAT LAND YOU’RE ON⁠! Land acknowledgments are a simple and important way to honor the indigenous communities that were forcibly displaced and killed by colonizers. I encourage you to look up any local indigenous led initiatives in your area.
