We had a pretty in-depth conversation during her appearance on the show. I mean, she's a real thinker. A lot of people underestimate Candace, but I can tell you, she's not someone you can just dismiss. She's got spunk, she's got points, and she can really hold her own in a debate. We had this great moment when we were talking about her panel discussion with Killer Mike, and that was quite something.

Now, I don't necessarily agree with everything she says, but that's the beauty of this show. It's all about getting different points of view out there and letting people make their own minds up. I respect her tenacity and her ability to stick to her beliefs, even if they're controversial. That's the fascinating part about this work, you meet so many different kinds of people with so many different perspectives. It's like a constant learning experience, man.

Man, it's a wild conversation, really. I find it fascinating how climate change has become this ping-pong match between the left and the right. And you know, it's like the hard right believes that it's just a natural cycle and any attempts at environmental precautions just hinder businesses.

On the flip side, the hard left comes off with this apocalyptic narrative that we're all doomed, that cities are gonna be submerged under water. Remember Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth'? He predicted we'd be knee-deep in sea water by 2014! That was a bit off the mark though.

It's wild too how the goalposts keep moving in this debate. It started as global warming, then they expanded it to climate change, just to cover all their bases.

We had some folks on the show who made some really compelling points. Some believe we need climate stabilization technologies. Some say the focus on 'saving the planet' is overwhelming and that we should start with smaller, manageable goals.

The most interesting point though is how much the acceptance or denial of climate change often seems to be dictated by a person's political leanings rather than the actual science. It's like a well-prepared litigator versus someone who's out to lunch. The climate deniers know every study inside-out and the folks who believe in the science often don't really understand the science. Crazy, right?

Even in my circle, the topic came up unexpectedly after jiu-jitsu class. One guy casually mentioned that it's getting hotter each year and another guy went full debate mode, denying it instantly.

It's a circus, man. But that's what makes it such a captivating subject to talk about.
