    Climate Changed
    Feb 17 2020

    Have you adapted to the changing climate? Rising waters, more destructive wildfires, record-breaking heatwaves. Scientists have long predicted these events, but reporting on climate change has moved from prediction to description. There’s no time for dwelling on “we should haves.” Communities and organizations are being forced to adapt. Find out what that means, the role of the new “resilience officers,” and the unique response of Native American cultures. Plus, is the coronavirus outbreak made worse by climate change? 

    Guests:

    • James Randerson – Professor of Earth Science, University of California, Irvine
    • Victor Rodriguez – PhD student, Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Engineering and Public Policy
    • Kyle Whyte – Professor in the Departments of Philosophy and Community Sustainability, and tribal member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation
    • Tracey Goldstein – Professor in the Department of Pathology, Immunology, and Microbiology, University of California, Davis
