Episode Summary: This episode is an excerpt from a past episode with Inma and Jemm discussing the first myth about climate change
Having contributed to many areas of the Carbon Almanac, Jenn and Imma came together to discuss a number of different environmental issues.
In this episode, Inma talks about how one of the myths is that climate change is nothing new because the climate is always changing. The real myth is that it is not a problem but how many record-breaking years of rising temperature will it take to change this view?

It's true.
INMA:
I said, why is it, why is that in MIS what do you think?
JENN:
Uh, that's true, but my understanding is that it's changing
JENN:
a lot faster than it used to.
INMA:
That's where that meat comes from.
INMA:
Because for some people I don't see that is happening much often, nowadays.

Five years ago.

I read that 17 of the 18 warmest years on record have taken place since 2001.
INMA:
Yeah.
INMA:
So that's, that's really fast.
INMA:
And, um, For, for planet to take in all those changes and be able to
INMA:
continue that is much faster than organically, both have happened.
INMA:
So it's us,
JENN:
it's us.
INMA:

JENN:
It's the human species and all the things that we're doing.
JENN:
Oh my goodness.
JENN:
So, so that's a myth.
JENN:
And how do we change that myth in, in the minds of people?
INMA:
Well, the most of it is coming from fuel emissions and gas and carbon
INMA:
coal oil, gas, all that is a big, big, big, big part of those fast changes.
INMA:
So what can we do?
INMA:
I think there's probably multiple ways of action personally.
