Climate and Environment Radio Programs Begin in January
Concern over climate change rose in late November with the release of a United Nations report on limiting global warming. “An ear-splitting wake-up call to the world,” the UN said of the report: “It confirms that climate change is running faster than we are — and we are running out of time.”
What do climate scientists have to say? How about policymakers, activists, and concerned citizens? Hear the conversations and the latest environmental and climate news in two new programs beginning January 19, 2019:
Saturdays 7 PM, Fridays 10 PM
Climate One: The issues raised by climate disruption are deeply interconnected. From water to energy, from food to transportation, the actions we take to address one issue directly impact the others.
