What Happens When Politics Erases Climate Change? | Thomas Schueneman
What happens when climate change itself becomes a censored word?
In this episode, I speak with Tom Schueneman - journalist, blogger, podcaster, and longtime climate communicator behind GlobalWarmingisReal.com.
For more than 20 years, Tom has been on the frontlines of climate communication, documenting how politics, disinformation, and propaganda shape the public’s understanding of science.
📌 Note: This conversation was recorded in May. Since then (now August), U.S. politics have shifted even further—making our discussion even more timely and relevant.
We explore:
- How climate data and language are being censored in the U.S.
- Why defunding science puts lives at risk
- The playbook of disinformation (from tobacco to climate denial)
- Why independent journalism is essential right now
- How to hold on to hope while facing hard truths
👉 Explore more of Tom’s work at GlobalWarmingisReal.com and his Substack.
