In this show we explore local flooding troubles that illustrate problems and possible solutions for the rest of the country. We talk with Josh Lippert, former Philly flood plain manager, about flood risks in Philadelphia made worse by sea level rise and the unprecedented extreme weather events we are all increasingly experiencing, and deficiencies in planning for the such risks. Our second guest is Jordan Gass-Pooré, investigative journalist & creator of the “Hazard NJ” podcast about risks climate change poses to Superfund sites in NJ. This podcast is a production of NJ Spotlight News, the news division of NJ PBS. She will tell us what she discovered about the scary situation with toxic sites posed by increased risks due to climate change.

Our July 1st show featured an interview with the beloved local NBC TV news meteorologist, Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz, recently retired. He spoke with us about how TV weather reporters present the science of climate change and the weather. Later that evening PBS News broadcast a similar story telling essentially the same story we’d just broadcast.
We also had one of the first - if not the first - stories in American media exploring the connection between the Supreme Court’s abortion rights ruling and climate change. We spoke with Dr. John Harte, Distinguished Professor of the Graduate School Ecosystem Sciences at the University of California in Berkeley, CA, about why he includes reproductive freedom as one of his climate change solutions, and what results the recent abortion decision could have on our society and our existential climate crisis.
