Climate California Episode 3: Second Language
Plants are smart. We climb 230 feet up, into one of the world’s most vibrant canopies, to see for ourselves. The climate solutions we’re looking for might be right in front of us, if we learn to understand what plants and trees are really about – intelligent beings making life itself possible by reaching for their fair share of starlight.
Climate California Episode 2: The Songs of Strangers
The sounds of nature give us clues to our ancient origins and to our current ecological challenges. We go looking for animals around California – from whales and birds to elk and newts. And we chat with soundscape ecologists, data scientists, a biologist, and an economist to learn how to give animals a fighting chance. Along the way, we also hear some pretty cool sounds.
Climate California Episode 1: Reclamation
Extracting Earth’s resources got us to where we are today – but it’s led to dire consequences. We follow trailblazers as they help us reimagine our future – from science fiction with Kim Stanley Robinson to the Yurok tribe’s dam removal project, to community organizing in Kern County and a trip through human irrationality.
