Best of: This Most Excellent Canopy

A lyrical ode to our atmosphere: the invisible, underappreciated substance that makes all life on Earth possible. There are quite a few things working against us when it comes to acting on climate change—not least of them, the simple fact that we literally can’t see the atmosphere, or how we’re changing it. In this episode, we take a guided tour of the Earth’s atmosphere to understand the science, beauty, and wonder of our “magical safety blanket.” Our tour is led by a trio of scientists: astrophysicists Dr. Anjali Tripathi and Dr. Hannah Wakeford, and hydroclimatologist Dr. Francina Dominguez. Join us in giving the atmosphere its due.This episode originally aired on February 8, 2022.Find the transcript for this episode here.Please share Threshold with friends, family, and community.Sign up for our newsletter, a monthly invitation to explore our relationships with the changing planet.Stay in touch with us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook or at [email protected]
