We look at probably the most famous man named "Thurl" out there, A quick trip to Hawaii for your ears, and a Limburger Lounge typical of the 1960s and 70s Lounge scene....we think anyway...we weren't old enough to stick our head into those dark liquor filled caverns of a largely forgotten culture filled with questionable musical talents of the ages. Wow...pretty descriptive for something we really don't know a lot about.

If you’ve heard natural gas depicted as a more environmentally friendly fuel alternative as compared to traditional oil and gasoline, you are definitely not alone. Unfortunately, it’s not true. This week on Sea Change Radio, we welcome two researchers from the Center for Climate Integrity, Rebecca Leber and Rebecca John, to discuss their report profiling the natural gas industry’s efforts over the past several decades to mislead the public about its products. We examine the dangers of methane gas emissions that were kept quiet for so many years, talk about the powerful messaging behind the word “natural” gas, and look at how effective the industry has been in positioning natural gas as a bridge fuel to fight climate change.

The investigative journalist and acclaimed author, specializing in weapons and war, Annie Jacobsen, has come closer than other investigators to the razor edge of secrecy that surrounds the current nuclear war machine. Her book, Nuclear War, is based on hundreds of interviews with war planners and engineers - plus recently declassified documents. Annie Jacobsen, reminds us that a Doomsday killing machine has been designed, capable of destroying not just two cities but life on this planet - first with fire and heat and then seven to ten years of darkness and ice sheets from nuclear winter. Annie Jacobsens book, Nuclear War, A Scenario, has 373 pages of interviews and sources, but it covers only 72 minutes of real time. Beginning at zero hour with the launch of one rogue nuclear missile - in Jacobsens scenario from North Korea - that will hit the Pentagon only 38 minutes later and destroy all of Washington DC. Here is the question and answer section of an interview by tech writer Quentin Hardy for the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. Watch the full one hour video of this conversation on the YouTube channel of the Commonwealth Club. The title is Annie Jacobsen | Nuclear War
