So: I just went on the show This Week on Science--otherwise known as "TWIS," otherwise known as "The Kickass Science Podcast"--to talk about Storm World. And just as we strove to keep the science fun (& funny) at Yearly Kos, so hosts Kirsten and Justin of TWIS regularly do the same...and they're pretty darn good at it. Let's just say I didn't know the discussion would turn to how we could reframe "global warming" as "climatea," a venereal disease the planet has caught. To figure out how that happened, guess you'll just have to listen to the Podcast. My segment starts just before minute 30. Enjoy...and use protection.
