593: Abundance of Caution
Tom Steyer's $100 Million Climate Super PAC
Billionaire investor Tom Steyer announces the creation of a $100 million Super PAC, NextGen Climate Action, to fund advertising related to global warming. The hosts view this as a Democratic counterweight to the Koch brothers' influence. They discuss the potential for profit in the "climate industry" and joke about changing their own stance on the issue to tap into the funding.
