SAM Talks: Climate (The Past, Present, and Future)
Advertisement
Host Sam Rapoport welcomes a panel of climate scientists and activists to explore the changing climate and pose thoughts about how humans might change, too.
Digging into deep time, geology instructor MB helps us take a look at the Earth's changes over the course of billions of years. Climatologist Jacob Genuise pauses in the present and examines how we can help communities adapt to the changes already in front of us. Tara Camp, an organizer for the nonprofit Futurewise, looks forward and envisions what a more sustainable, just, and caring society can look like.
