“There are so many opportunities, there are so many ways to invest and really think about how we can develop new technologies, new jobs. Because we know we're going to run out of fossil fuels. It's going to happen. So rather than being caught flat-footed, it's an opportunity to really be forward thinking about where we really want to see ourselves developing and going,” says Dr. Claudia Benitez-Nelson, a climate scientist and member of Science Moms. 

In this conversation we’ll talk about demystifying climate science for parents, breaking some of the most pervasive climate myths, and parenting in a changing climate.

This episode is supported by Climate Mama, which helps Climate Mamas and Papas to tell the truth about climate change, take action and not be afraid.
