Why is Europe having the Largest Snow Storms in Decades?
Europe is having some of the largest snow storms in decades, which are causing havoc on infrastructure, mobility, and the vaccine roll out. And yet they are happening in the middle of Spring. So, why are these snow storms happening, how are they effecting the people and the ecosystem in the region, and how is climate change, which is synonymous with heating the planet, helping cause these snow storms. To answer these questions and learn more about these storms I Interviewed Dr. Wenger. He is a Marie Biologist by trade, but he has been working in polar regions for the last the last 16. He has years mainly been working in those regions as a tour guide but he switched to become an online editor for a couple of online platforms before founding polar journal, an international online platform for the polar regions.

Carbon Dioxide Levels Hit a new Record, What does the mean for the Future?
Leave a Review HERE
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.

Is China's New 5 Year Plan Environmentally Friendly?
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

How is Food Waste an Environmental Problem?
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.
