That last link seems a bit messed up and got broken in two.

I just finished listening to the free part of the show in the original link. I learn new things with every deep dive into this. Once of my big take-aways from all this is that the public's understanding of all this is very far removed from reality. I'm sure millions of people are still convinced that a simple explanation they heard blaming one particular specific thing (like, say, frozen wind turbines) is THE explanation of the entire situation.
