Time to 1.5 Extra: A Conversation with Rebecca Solnit

In June 2024, the planet hit a sobering milestone: 12 straight months of global temperatures at or above 1.5 degrees over pre-industrial levels. But even as the impact of climate change becomes more visible and far-reaching, the opportunity to change the trajectory of this global crisis remains possible. Hope is possible.

Listen to our conversation with writer and activist Rebecca Solnit, a leading voice on the climate crisis and a dogged champion of possibility and promise.

 On paper, the world has agreed to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. In reality, we are not on track to meet that goal. But the window is not yet fully closed. If we take decisive action this decade, we may still be able to prevent warming beyond 1.5 degrees. Will we?

Time to 1.5 grapples with the responsibility and privilege of this pivotal moment in human history.

The Refuge is a Peabody Award-winning series that dives into the decades-long controversy over oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

How have politics, conservation, economic aspirations, and traditional culture each shaped this battle? And what might drilling mean for the people who live there?

 The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. What does that mean for the four million people who live there? Cold Comfort gives listeners a rich understanding of this region and the changes it’s facing.

 Oh, Give Me A Home traces the history of the American bison, weaving together tales of violence, resistance, and our complicated relationship with conservation to get at the heart of a distinctly American story.

Podcasting is for everyone! In this webinar series, we guide you through the basic steps you need to go from “I have this idea…” to “listen to my podcast!”
