5/6/26: Climate change at Chimney Bluffs?
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of climate change on Chimney Bluffs State Park and the childcare funding crisis in several counties.
(May 6, 2026) Climate change may alter our most beloved natural places. At Chimney Bluffs State Park with its clay pinnacles along Lake Ontario, researchers are trying to figure out how much climate change is accelerating a process of erosion that’s been going on for thousands of years. Also: St. Lawrence, Clinton, Essex, Warren, and Herkimer counties have all run out of their childcare assistance funding. An answer could be in the state budget, but it’s more than a month late.
