About this episode

We know climate change is a real threat to our planet, but we hear a lot less about the threat it poses to public health. That’s why this week, Chelsea is sitting down with two people who have tackled this head on: Jane Fonda, who has used her powerful platform to engage people across generations in this fight, and Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms who has made addressing climate change in Atlanta a top priority, quickly becoming a model for other cities in how to address this crisis.
