YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
As the Northeast United States contends with the aftermath of a historic bomb cyclone blizzard that blanketed the region, we speak to climate scientist Michael Mann about the causes and effects of increasingly intense weather events. “We expect to see that increase as long as we continue to warm up the planet by burning fossil fuels and putting carbon pollution into the atmosphere,” says Mann. Meanwhile, he adds, policy decisions are making it harder to prepare for extreme weather. With its defunding of scientific infrastructure across the country, “the Trump administration is truly putting Americans in harm's way.”
