Climate change is real. But what do Americans really understand about it -- and about the best actions to combat it? We hear from researchers Prof. Michael Hanmer and Prof. Deb Niemeier about the results from a University of Maryland/Center for Democratic Engagement-Washington Post poll. What they learned may surprise you.

Plus, psychotherapist Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan draws on the healing powers of nature to treat eco-anxiety.
