The Climate Report - 8/11/22

Author: KVMR-FM August 12, 2022 Duration: 29:44

The Climate Report for 8/11/22 covers food, viruses, and legislation.

A listener asked us to revisit our reporting on the climate impacts of different types of meat and food, and what we found reinforces some of what is already known, but also has some surprising twists.

We also cover research that shows how climate impacts could create 1,000 new ways for infectious diseases to get worse in the future.

We close with fresh “dirty” details on the newly announced climate bill, and what this means for you in practical terms.

Tune in every 2nd and 4th Thursday from 6:30-7pm following the KVMR News, and visit The Climate Report social media page for daily news headlines.
