A River Ran Through It

from The TPM Social Club

Josh and Joe are joined by Jake Bittle, a reporter covering climate change at Grist to discuss the state of the Colorado River Basin. Seven states depend on this water system, but between overuse and aridification, its sustainability is in question. We discuss this and then touch on some other climate-related issues, such as the relationship between data centers and coal.
