E89 | How Hikers & Gear Brands Are Taking The Fight To Climate Change | An Environmental Corner Episode

Episode Summary: The bad really makes you appreciate the good. That's why we wanted to wrap up with the "bad" in our Nation's fight against climate change using a healthy dose of good. We discuss a few things our Country is doing to try and roll back progress against fighting climate change, but then what fellow hikers and a few hiking brands are doing to keep on bringing the fight. You don't have to take a monumental step to make some solid change. Even picking up a single piece of trash can do a world of good, whether you know it or not.We wrap with a bit of Q&A about climate change from our lead editor Charlotte.A huge thanks to Megaman, RecPak, Sawyer, Ken Posner, and our anonymous hiker for taking the time to share what they are doing to make the world and hiking community a better place!!Links/Sources:⁠Understanding the Arctic polar vortex | NOAA Climate.gov⁠⁠Remote town of Stehekin left staggering by floodwaters | The Seattle Times⁠⁠Melting Ocean Ice Affects Sea Level – Unlike Ice Cubes in a Glass – NASA Sea Level Change Portal⁠⁠climate - Why don't green house gases escape into space? - Earth Science Stack Exchange⁠⁠Desalination technologies and their environmental impacts: A review - ScienceDirect⁠⁠Hasn't Earth warmed and cooled naturally throughout history? | NOAA Climate.gov⁠⁠The US Has Officially Left the Paris Agreement | Earth.Org⁠⁠Temperatures Rising: NASA Confirms 2024 Warmest Year on Record - NASA⁠⁠IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change⁠⁠WMO confirms 2024 as warmest year on record at about 1.55°C above pre-industrial level⁠⁠One Year of Trump: How the US Reversed Climate Progress⁠⁠Federal Court Reverses Trump Administration’s Past Cuts To ESA" | SEJ⁠⁠Federal Court Reverses Trump Administration’s Past Cuts To ESA⁠⁠Federal Court Strikes Down President Trump’s Attacks Against Endangered Species Act, Restores Bedrock Environmental Law to Pre-Trump Status - Earthjustice⁠⁠Largest wildfire in Nebraska history now nearly 100% contained | Nebraska Public Media⁠⁠Only 50 of these whales are left in existence.
