How bad will a Trump presidency be for the climate?
There's a lot to be hopeful about. What gives you that hope?
Hi, I'm John Glenn Hill, and we get a lot of calls to the Explain It To Me hotline. And quite a few have been from listeners wondering, what's going on with climate change? We know that President Donald Trump is a climate skeptic. And he's been doing a lot in his three months back in office to slow down the climate progress that's been made. So where does that leave us now?
To answer this question, I brought in a colleague, someone whose job it is to think about the changing climate and who knows how to cover it in a way that doesn't make us want to throw up our hands in despair.
So I am Paige Vega. I'm Vox's climate editor, and I think I'm the only Voxer that lives in southwestern Colorado. I live in a little mountain town in the Four Corners region, and I've got two dogs, and we hang out in the mountains, and yeah, it's a pretty nice situation.
Yeah, I'm very jealous of your access to green chili. I want to play you these questions we got from a listener named Sophie.
