Rollie Williams describes himself as “Writer, Editor, Producer, Climate Change Admitter, Billiards Enthusiast, Insufferable.” He also has a masters degree in Climate and Society from Columbia University.

He hosts Climate Town, comedy videos about the climate crisis. He and a ragtag team of climate communicators, creatives and comedians are here to examine climate change in a way that doesn’t make you want to eat a cyanide pill. They have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and millions of views. As they describe themselves:

It’s a really complicated issue and a lot of people don’t feel comfortable cracking into it with friends, co-workers, family, whatever. Climate change can also get kind of boring sometimes if you’re not careful. Rollie thinks that if people like him and us talked about the climate crisis 10x more than we do now, we’d have a shot of solving this thing. He hope his videos will help that along.

He also hosts the podcast Sweatpants:

The climate crisis is a marathon, and every good marathon needs people on the sidelines cheering, handing out water, and getting a little day drunk. The goal of Sweatpants: A Low-Key Climate Podcast is to be the loudest, day-drunkest, people in the climate game. Every episode, comedian and climate science & policy expert Rollie Williams (Climate Town, Columbia University) talks to climate scientists, journalists, and activists as well as comics, artists, and etceteras about climate change and more. Sometimes they’ll get into hard numbers, but it’s mostly a candid, human conversation between human people. Climate change is an emergency, but it’s not a sprint. If you need a break from the charts and climate projections and want to hear low-key conversation about climate, Sweatpants is the podcast for you.

He also plays pool, which he does shows on too.
