Justice to Climate - Climate Change

Join us for Episode 22 of We Are Rivers – Climate Change Part 2: Climate Change is Water Change. In this episode we expand on our learnings from Part 1 of the climate change series (episode 21) and discuss the impacts of climate change to the southwest, particularly in the Colorado River Basin. We know the impacts of climate change will affect all corners of the globe, and places like the southwest and the Colorado River Basin that are already dry will experience increased vulnerability in the form of higher temperatures, variable precipitation, earlier runoff, more intense wildfires and punctuated flooding events. These events will only intensify over time and will vary depend on the specific location within the region – some areas will get hotter and drier while other will experience more precipitation in the winter months. As Brad Udall says in the podcast, in the Colorado River Basin, climate change is water change. Join us to learn more about how climate change has and will continue to affect the southwest.

Join us for Episode 21 of We Are Rivers – Climate Change Part 1: Understanding the Science. In this episode we back-up broad-based knowledge about climate change with scientific explanations and address some questions from you about some of the impacts of climate change. Climate change is happening all around us, and it’s our responsibility to understand how and why we are experiencing these effects and the role humans have. Join us in this episode of We Are Rivers, as Brad Udall, climate scientist, explains climate change and addresses some common questions about our changing climate. From the concepts and questions covered in this podcast episode, you will gain greater understanding and insight about how this broadly-accepted scientific understanding is creating challenges for communities, economies, and ecosystems all around the world. Join us for Episode 21 as we discover the science behind what is increasingly happening all around us.

What's to say? This episode is about weather and climate change. I go in-depth into recent weather and its apparent link to climate change.
