Guest: Jamie Margolin — Climate Activist, Author, Co-Founder of Zero Hour
What if the real monster haunting our planet isn't lurking deep in a lake — but sitting in a corporate boardroom?
In this episode, Dave talks with climate activist and Zero Hour co-founder Jamie Margolin about how fossil-fuel giants, bought-out politicians, and PR wizards have turned a full-blown scientific emergency into a partisan debate. We dive into the psychology of denial, the spectacle of greenwashing, and why the climate crisis feels easier to mythologize than to confront.
Jamie breaks down how corporations rebrand themselves as "eco-friendly" while accelerating climate destruction, why young people are leading where adults have failed, and what happens when Indigenous communities fight — and win — against oil companies… only to be denied justice anyway.
This is the episode where Bigfoot stops being the monster — and climate denial takes center stage.
