Is Climate Change Funny? Interview with Adam McKay

In this Climate Chat episode, we interview Adam McKay, a screenwriter, producer, and director known for "Don't Look Up", "The Big Short", "Vice", "Anchorman", and "Succession", among many, many other films and TV shows. Adam was head writer for Saturday Night Live from 1995 to 2001. In 2023, Adam founded Yellow Dot Studios, a non-profit production company that makes short-form videos that raise awareness and mobilize action on the climate emergency. We will discuss the role of humor in engaging people on climate, the impact of "Don't Look Up", and how he thinks Yellow Dot Studios can move the needle on climate action.
