11 a.m., July 6, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join us this Sunday, either in person or online, as we watch and discuss a half hour video from Climate Town<\/em>. Rollie Williams shows how oil propaganda is inserted into movies and TV shows and becomes part of what is considered \u201ccommon knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Climate Town<\/em> is a documentary-comedy show focused on addressing the climate crisis through highly researched and vetted climate communication.<\/p>\n

Rollie Williams is a Brooklyn-based comedian and video editor, with a Climate Science and Policy degree from Columbia University. He is the creator and host of the digital comedy series Climate Town<\/em>. In the past few years, the channel has amassed 520,000 subscribers, several millions views, a handful of awards, and has spawned an engaged Discord community of fun climate people.<\/p>\n

Williams is also the co-creator and co-host of The Climate Denier’s Playbook podcast which is exactly what it sounds like. Formerly, Williams hosted the monthly comedy show ‘An Inconvenient Talk Show’ featuring comedians (SNL, The Daily Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and climate scientists (NASA, MIT, Harvard).<\/p>\n
