Warming Up to Climate Change

Bryne and JR. introduce Origami Elephants, then tackle the first elephant: Climate Change using an Evangelical group in Florida and Pope Francis.

From Series: "Origami Elephants Season 1"

Origami Elephants celebrates the tension between beauty and certainty. Hosts Bryne Lewis and JR. Forasteros tackle the elephants in the room - the topics we either avoid or fight about. Bryne, JR. and their guests choose instead to investigate the elephants, to let them draw us together rather than divide.
