Topic: An Inconvenient Truth

Christopher Field, co-chair of the IPCC Working Group 2, spoke to the BBC about the "new science" of adaptation and managing climate risks through "baby steps." The hosts characterize this shift as a "scam" designed to secure perpetual funding for research. They note that even the producers of "An Inconvenient Truth" are seeking a sequel, suggesting the climate industry is pivoting because previous alarmist predictions failed to materialize.

Adam Curry recalls attending a Kleiner Perkins CEO summit in Pebble Beach circa 2005 where Al Gore screened *An Inconvenient Truth* via satellite. The hosts discuss the recurring media narrative that "this year is the last chance" to act on climate change, noting similar panicky rhetoric from Senator Dianne Feinstein. They also mention a document circulating that provides strategies for attacking climate change "denialists" who credit solar activity for temperature shifts.
