This episode features our first guest - T Shea. We discuss the likelihood of a World War 3, what might cause it, conflicts in the Middle East, and the Russia/Ukraine conflict. There are no links this time around, as most of the things discussed are either deeply ingrained knowledge, easily verified with a quick Google search, or pulled from social media and other podcasts. Enjoy the listen without the reading!

We cover all things climate change in this episode including the legislation that could be changed under Trump Admin 2.0, including the 150 pages of Project 2025 which address climate, air quality, water quality, and so much more.
