Topic: Climate March

The "People's Climate March" took place over the weekend as President Trump considered withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord. The hosts mock the irony of a climate march in Colorado being hit by snow. They introduce Bill Nye as a central figure in the modern climate movement, labeling him an "anti-constitutionalist."

The hosts discuss the upcoming NCAA basketball championship game between Gonzaga and North Carolina. The show concludes with a montage of clips featuring Adam Schiff, climate change skepticism, and the final sign-off for episode 917.

The hosts examine "The Poop Project," a grassroots organization featured on the Climate March website that aims to heal cultural shame surrounding "potty talk." The organization is a fiscally sponsored nonprofit through Fractured Atlas that promotes conversations about sustainable sanitation. The segment includes a jingle for "Detective Dookie" and critiques the group's mission to reconnect people with their bodily functions.

The People's Climate March in New York is analyzed as a highly organized event rather than a grassroots movement. One participant from the group "CultureStrike" discusses the intersection of "climate justice" and immigration, while the hosts trace the group's funding back to the Citizen Engagement Laboratory.

Adam Curry investigates the organizations behind the People's Climate March, specifically focusing on "Purpose.com" and "Avaaz." He describes a sophisticated business model where for-profit B-corps and non-profit 501(c)(4) agencies work together to launch social movements. Curry argues these movements are funded by major foundations like Rockefeller to serve corporate interests under the guise of grassroots activism.
