About this episode

The episode discusses recent unsettling developments and positive news stories related to water, climate, and the environment.

There have been unsettling developments around water, climate, and the environment so far this year. In March, a heat wave that was "impossible without climate change" struck much of the U.S. West. In February, major farming associations warned that without action, there will be a “widespread collapse of American agriculture.” Last week, the “God Squad” moved to open the Gulf of Mexico to oil drilling, threatening endangered whales. However, we have reported many positive news stories too. Listen to some recent segments from our newscast that we think stood out.
