The main culprit for climate change is our emissions of Carbon Dioxide, and because of that, the rise in temperature and the rise in the concentration of carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere have been synchronously rising for decades. But, Carbon Dioxide levels have just reached a new level in, what scientist think, could be the history of the earth, reaching 420 Parts Per Million, or PPM. So today we ask what is the science  behind measuring PPM and what do the levels being above 420 mean for the future of our Earth? To answer that I interviewed Chelsea Harvey. She is a climate change reporter for E and E News.

President Biden just announced a brand new infrastructure plan, better know as the American Jobs Plan, and when it was announced there was a large emphasis on the environment. So, because of that, in todays episode we look at what the proposal is, how the bill effects the environment, and whether it has a good chance of getting passed. To answer those questions I interviewed Nat Mund. He is director of federal affairs and the head of the Washington DC office for the Southern Environmental Law Center. They focus on all environmental issues but primarily on environmental issues which affect Virginia, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee.

China's new much anticipated 2021-2026 5 year plan has just been shown to the public, and many environmentalist expected it to have a very green forward agenda, but is it as green as it was made off to be. To answer that question I interviewed Isabel Hilton. She is a journalist who has worked in multiple mediums before becoming the founder of China Dialogue. China Dialogue which was the world's first bilingual Chinese english website. Its goal is to look at climate change and china's environmental crisis. I asked her what China's 5 year plans are, if this brand new plan is good for the environment, and if this plan will allow china to reach its goal of carbon neutrality by 2060

You probably already know that food waste is a huge problem, but the United Nations Environmental Program just came out with a report which shows that it might be much bigger than we think. To talk about the problem I interview David Lazarus. He is the consumer columnist for the Kay times and does daily consumer segments with KTLA. I asked him, why is food waste such a big problem, how is food waste connected to Climate Change, and what did the new UN report say about the issue.

The 10th anniversary of the Fukushima Nuclear Reactor Meltdown just passed, so in this episode we ask the question, do we really need nuclear energy in a carbon free future. To answer this question I interviewed Joe Lassiter. He was an engineer and for the past 20 years and was the Hines professor of environmental management at the Harvard business school before he retired. We asked him, what is nuclear energy, do we really need it in a carbon free future, and how can we stop another nuclear disaster from happening again.

You may not realize it but oil spills happen all the time and are not talked about because they aren't dramatic enough. In this episode though, we talk about one of these oil spills. This oil spill happened in Israel, and even though it wasn't dramatic enough to be on the mainstream news, it was still devastating for the region. To talk about the oil spill, I interviewed Dr. Adi Levi. Dr Adi Levi is the Scientific director of the Israel Society of ecology and environmental sciences. With more than 70 tons of oil spilled off of the coast of Israel, we ask him what caused the spill, how it will be all be cleaned up, and how it is and will continue to affect the wildlife and community.
