The Maggie Daun Show

Atlas 15, Flood Risks, and the Cost of Ignoring Climate Change


Listen Later

Maggie exposes the dangerous consequences of climate denial, focusing on the Trump administration’s defunding of the Atlas 15 project—a crucial initiative meant to update the data used for infrastructure and flood planning in the era of extreme weather. Joined by climate scientist Tom Di Liberto, the discussion reveals how outdated rainfall estimates and lack of federal support have left communities vulnerable, especially as flash floods become more frequent and intense. The conversation zeroes in on Texas, where budget cuts, inadequate warning systems, and failed leadership turned predictable climate risks into preventable disasters. Maggie calls out political hypocrisy and systemic neglect, making a compelling case for urgent climate investment and infrastructure modernization—before the next catastrophe strikes.
