This week Erol and guest co-host Dr. Jennifer Sciubba wonder whether President Biden can be right and wrong at the same time and why the science says we’re basically getting little right and everything wrong on adapting to climate change. In the main story, Jen talks about her new book “8 Billion and Counting: How Sex, Death, and Migration Shape Our World”... during which we find out that basically everything we thought we knew about demographics is... just plain wrong.
