Do you follow the science? Do you have an aversion to the scolds who routinely declare code reds for humanity? Perhaps you're being driven to despair. But we at Ricochet hope to see you flourish, we want to see you b(j)orn again! Our guest this week is the absorbingly optimistic Bjørn Lomborg, exactly the man to set us straight on the U.N. climate report and the cataclysmic media circus that's followed. The fellas also get into infrastructure - whatever that means - and the attendant endemic of thoughtless dishonesty. Also, Rob got a smidgeon of hope from some youngsters recently and Peter needs some recommendations for a good binge-worthy TV series: help him out in the comments!

@BlueYeti is it just my imagination or is there some off timing at least early on? I don't usually expect james and rob to be talking over each other.

The guys will keep me company in the morning as I always listen to this podcast on my Saturday run, but I read the description and happen to have just wrote on Ricochet about what I think is a binge worthy television show: The Kominsky Method. If you go to that write up on the Main Feed, other members chimed in with their suggestions for other good shows in the comments. :)

I've seen half of these--but that leaves the whole other half. Thanks, Mark!
