Bridging the Carbon Gap
Join high school students at Hunter College High School in Manhattan, New York City (NYC), on their journey to gain knowledge about climate change, a topic that is not taught enough to young students across the U.S. We interview climate activists, experts, and researchers about their work and experiences, and use our knowledge to think about how a climate change themed high school education can be created. This podcast is created in collaboration with newyork.thecityatlas.org.

When do rising temperatures pose a risk to us? Climate scientist Radley Horton on how extreme heat and humidity can combine to threaten human health [Season 1, Episode 2]
In this episode, we speak to Dr. Radley Horton of Columbia University about the danger of high wet bulb temperatures, which happen when heat waves and high humidity combine . We go into the impact of rising temperatures on different geographical locations, and how increasing temperatures can impact people living in certain parts of the world. In addition, we touch on the problem that wealthy countries who contribute the most to environmental problems often have means to protect against the consequences.
