First, we hear a short piece from an episode on the Podcast Brunch Club - it’s a free event, it’s virtual, it’s like a book club, but it’s about podcasts, in this case, geo-engineering, simply listen to them and talk about what you heard with other listeners.
Our first of two stories from The New York Times is also about
geo-engineering: “What’s the Least Bad Way to Cool the Planet?”;
“As Bikers Throng the Streets, ‘It’s Like Paris Is in Anarchy’”;
The Guardian has four stories that relate to the climate crisis:

“Poor countries must not be forced to take on debt to tackle climate crisis”;
