Panel: More Federal, State Action Needed To Address Climate Change

Climate change has increased Kentucky's average temperature, contributed to heavier rainfall and is associated with other weather-related changes in the state. Activists like Greta Thunberg have brought more attention to the issue, but panelists on WFPL's In Conversation said more that action from those in power at the federal and state level is necessary to make a substantive change. Our guests included WFPL Energy and Environment Reporter Ryan Van Velzer, University of Louisville Assistant to the Provost for Sustainability Initiatives Justin Mog, Louisville Climate Strike Coalition Co-Lead Fernanda Scharfenberger and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth Chairperson Cassia Herron.
