2050 presents What On Earth: “Can Earth Day be badass again?”

The climate is changing. So are we. On What On Earth, you’ll explore a world of solutions with host Laura Lynch and our team of journalists. In 1970, 20 million people showed up to fight for the environment on the first Earth Day. More than five decades later, is it time for this much tamer global event to return to its radical roots? OG organizer Denis Hayes recounts how – amidst other counterculture movements at the time – his team persuaded roughly one in ten Americans to take to the streets. As he approaches 80, Denis offers his singular piece of advice to the next generation of climate leaders. Then, environmental warriors Maria Blancas and Axcelle Campana share ideas on what a reinspired Earth Day could look like – including making it a public holiday.

Meteorologists call British Columbia 'the land of a billion micro climates.' By 2050, the average temperature in BC will have risen by 2.5 C. But that doesn't mean everything will just get hotter. We explore how BC's climate will change in just 30 years.

Good host who presents her subject very well. Yes, the situation is alarming, but there is no panic in her voice. Everyone should listen to this, whether or not they live in Vancouver.
Great long form journalism

An interesting deep dive into a possible future climate change scenario focused on British Columbia. As a Seattle resident this both expanded my thinking on how a tepid global response might play out. This well produced and well researched podcast left me both terrified and hopeful about the road ahead.
