About this episode
From carbon-trapping trees to threats to U.S. climate science, here’s this week’s Talking Climate snapshot.
🌱 Good news: New research finds East African fig trees can lock carbon away as stone-like calcium carbonate, keeping it in the soil long term while growing food at the same time!
⚠️ Not-so-good news: The U.S. is rolling back vital climate protections, re-writing science assessments and cancelling NASA satellites at a time when we need more protection, information, and data than ever.
✊ What you can do: One of the most effective ways to use our voice is by holding leaders accountable. It's not only about voting: we can speak up any time, submit comments on decisions we disagree with, and support legal challenges for climate action that are happening worldwide!
These days, climate action isn’t optional. Together, I believe we can make it unavoidable.
