About this episode

In this episode of Three Degrees Apart, I speak with Emily Atkin, founder of Heated, about the evolving landscape of climate journalism and the role of media in shaping public understanding of the climate crisis. We explore how misinformation, political influence, and corporate narratives have distorted climate coverage, and why independent journalism is more important than ever. Emily also shares insights on building Heated into a trusted platform, and how clear, honest reporting can help young people stay informed, cut through the noise, and turn awareness into action.
