Buzzfeed Investigates A Former CDC Climate Official | Examining Flooding and Air Pollution in Jakarta (w/ Buzzfeed's Zahra Hirji and Vice's Adi Renaldi)

Two interviews this week discussing two major topics we haven't covered on the podcast. First, Zahra Hirji returns to the show to discuss her investigative reporting into George Luber, a former official in the CDC's climate program, and explains what former and current staffers told her about his dismissal. 

Then, Vice's Adi Renaldi joins us from Jakarta to talk about the devastating flooding in the Indonesian city, how climate change is impacting Jakarta, and the growing issue of air pollution.
