Episode notes

In this episode we explore a region of the galaxy where the fabric of space is being damaged by the very method of space travel used by The Enterprise. The scientists who have made this startling discovery have to resort to direct action to force a response from otherwise sluggish political actors. A climate change episode? You bet! Still relevant 34 years after it first aired? Depressingly, probably also yes.

Join us for a discussion of International Relations, Star Trek, climate change and fossil fuels.
