Matt speaks with Sarah Barth and Laura McClendon from Sempervirens, an organization dedicated to protecting redwood forests in California. They discuss the Redwoods’ role in sequestering carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change mitigation.  Controlled burns and indigenous collaboration also play a crucial role in maintaining forest health and reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfires.  Rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and changes in fog patterns are affecting redwood forests, leading to signs of stress and slower growth. Younger Redwood trees are particularly vulnerable in the hotter, drier environment.

Fighting climate change as an evangelical Christian Dr. Hayhoe is an Atmospheric Scientist whose research focuses on understanding the impacts of climate change on people and the planet. She doesn't accept global warming on faith: she crunches the data, analyzes the models and helps Engineers, City Managers and Ecologists quantify the impacts. Katharine doesn't let politics get in her way, but uses a scientific approach to address climate change rather than using a faith based approach that counts on God solving the climate crisis, or even denying it in the first place.
