Zach Galifianakis On Climate Collapse

I haven't watched the full show yet, but Zach Galifianakis' This Is a Gardening Show has collapsnik vibes.

I hadn't made the connection myself at first, but after watching him interviewed on Conan's recent podcast it became clear. On the podcast he mentions that we have around 60 harvests left, a figure which I'm sure will be scoffed at here as too high, but is touted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

Now as I watch it, I'm getting the sense he is talking to a future audience, one who never grew up with a stable climate, and one that might be curious about the lost practices of old.

I also found it interesting watching him trying to discuss the heavy topics with Conan, who is somewhat famously avoidant so as to keep his show silly and light. I love Conan but I personally don't like when artists(the ones I agree with anyway) try to stay aloof in the face of existential threats.
