b"We're back! Did you miss me? Don't answer that please. Today's episode kicks off Season FIVE of Flash Forward. This year, I'm doing things a little bit differently. Instead of doing a new episode every other week, you're getting little mini-seasons. Each little block of five episodes will come out weekly, and center around a theme. This week we're starting our EARTH series. Five episodes, five different future Earths. Buckle up, I hope you're ready for some fun. And some terror. This is Flash Forward after all.\\nToday we travel to a future where humanity decides to pull the climate emergency break, and spray sulphuric acid into the upper atmosphere.\\nGuests\\nAnthony Jones, climate model researcher at University of Exeter\\nJane Flegal, climate science and policy advisor, program officer at The Bernard and Anne Spitzer Charitable Trust\\nKate Marvel, climate scientist at Columbia University and NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies\\nRomaric Odoulami, climate scientist at the University of Cape Town\\nPrakash Kashwan, political scientist at the University of Connecticut\\xa0\\nActors\\nThe Snowglobe Narrator: Brent Rose\\nLenny Haywood: Evan Johnson\\nFarah Mousterian: Zahra Noorbakhsh\\nJohn Jacob Siwa: Joseph Jones\\nJuana Aguilar: Tamara Krinsky\\nThor Surtr: Oliver Blank\\nSpecial Thanks\\nWomen's Audio Mission studios, Maryam Qudus, Stephanie Lopez\\nThe Potluck Podcast Collective, The Potluck Podcast studio, Quincy Surasmith\\nFlash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth.
