This is Global Weirding. In this series, we're tackling climate issues head on. How do we know this Global Warming thing is even real? Why do scientists say that humans are causing climate change and not just natural cycles like it's been every other time, while many politicians say exactly the opposite. Is climate change behind all the crazy weather we see today? Does fixing climate mean we have to shut down the economy? Why are the Pope and the National Association of Evangelicals piling on?

Global Weirding was originally recorded as a video series, to see more episodes visit globalweirdingseries.com.
