Keeping Climate Stories in Context | netnebraska.org
Last night's broadcast piece was one segment, which you might want to look at in the context of several other segments we've been doing at the Newshour on climate. We have an entire topic page dedicated to Coping with Climate Change. We had a conversation with climate scientist Jim Hansen recently, we did a piece on the massive losses to the cherry crops in Michigan due to the unusually early warmth in Michigan. [Wasn't it the cold, not the warmth, that actually caused those losses?]
We did pieces focusing on Pacific Northwest tribes planning for climate change, as well as took viewers to parts of coastal Louisiana where relative sea level rise is a reality they face now.
We went to two Texas towns which running out of water from the severe droughts of recent years, and even took a look at challenges climate science education is facing in classrooms. Here is a youtube playlist for the half dozen stories I've been part of.
Beyond the stories I've been involved with, PBS NewsHour has long covered the scientific research and analysis surrounding climate change, with several stories online and on-air this summer. In July, we looked at the connection between extreme weather events and climate change. We also explored what may help explain why a massive ice sheet in Greenland seemed to be melting in four days.
