Madgecast S1E18 - Fight for the Future, Not Just Against the Donald

This week on the Madgecast we're talking about how fighting for the future might be more effective and fun than just fighting against the Donald, because fuck that guy.

• My primary text this week is Alex Steffen's talk entitled "The Heroic Future" -- you should take the time to watch it, it might be the best hour of your day
• And here's a timeline of what exactly needs to happen each decade in order for us to meet our Paris Accord agreements, which were mostly about keeping the temperature increase to only 2 degrees Celsius and here's the abstract of the Science paper it was based on
• The March for Science is happening all over the country April 22 -- I hope you will take part!
