The Primetime Emmy® Award-winning television and digital series YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY has joined forces with Funny Or Die to launch a new digital series which tackles the issues surrounding climate change with humor.
Episode 1: Intro
Senator Franken talks about climate change by making an analogy: an overweight heavy smoker wants to find a DOCTOR WHO WILL tell him he doesn't have to change his lifestyle at all. The question is, just who is this doctor?
