TRANSCRIPT
GROSS: From hurricanes and floods to wildfires and extreme temperatures, climate change is happening all around us, the U.S. Congress just passed the most sweeping climate bill ever, and the world is gathering in Egypt to discuss next steps on climate. It’s clearly a top of mind issue for many of us.
I’m Samantha Gross, director of the Energy Security and Climate initiative at the Brookings Institution, and I’ve spent my career focused on energy and environmental issues. In this podcast, I aim to bring some sense to the climate debate by talking with energy and climate experts to break down what’s really happening and what we can do about it.
