Summary
Monster storms, too much rain, not enough rain, hail, and heat have become more prevalent in a political context made worse by a fossil-fuel cozy federal government. On today’s show, host Esty Dinur speaks with Dr. Michael Mann about climate change, super El Niño, and the Trump administration’s attacks on environmental protections.
