Forget War: The Planet Is Coming for Us All

Nature Hates You: How Climate Ends Empires Faster Than WarYou think war topples empires? That’s adorable. Try famine, floods, and Mother Nature throwing a tantrum. Humans love to think they run the show, but history tells a different story—droughts have ended dynasties, hurricanes have crushed economies, and rising temperatures might just finish the job. Max Bennett and Lisa Vega rip into the harsh truth: your biggest enemy isn’t China, Russia, or inflation—it’s the planet itself.Is climate change just the latest chapter in history’s long saga of weather-based annihilation, or have we finally crossed the "oh-sh*t" threshold into irreversible disaster? Either way, grab your sunscreen, build that bunker, and get ready for some brutal climate reality—because the forecast isn’t looking good.Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series.
