New look at public health risks of climate change, with Harvard's Paul Epstein, and Tim Tarako of Simon Fraser University. Malarial mosquitoes in Scandinavia & Canada by 2025? Interview with Andy Revkin, former environment reporter for The New York Times. Interview with Vermont teacher Katy Farber on "Service Learning" & Captain Charles Saylan on fixing environmental education.
In the age of Fukushima. Past the time of dead terrorists and Royal Weddings. Underlying deadly storms and higher food prices, we continue our relentless carbon war against the atmosphere and the sea.
In this Radio Ecoshock program 5 guests take us through the process.
Almost the father of public health warnings on climate change, Harvard's Dr. Paul Epstein is our guest. Before the deadly tornadoes in the American South, he specifically warned of more violent weather. An advisor to governments, Dr. Epstein talks about climate impacts on the air we breath, smog, and the one out of every ten Americans suffering from asthma.
Just for the horror, I'll toss in a few minutes from another climate and health talk, this time Dr. Tim Takaro in Vancouver. Did you know even moderate projections of warming will move malaria-bearing mosquitoes as far North as Scandinavia, or the Province of Quebec in Canada?
Then we'll talk with one of the premier environment journalists of our day. As global warming reved up in the public mind, Andy Revkin was THE environment reporter for The New York Times. His blog "Dot.Earth" continues to connect the big stories, with a science edge.
We'll wrap up with two interviews asking: why aren't schools preparing kids for a morphing ecosphere? Captain Charles Saylan has a new book about fixing green teaching. Charlie heas up the Ocean Conservation Society in Southern California.
And from New England, active primary school teacher Katy Farber tell us a way to connect students to the community, to the real world - perfect for the Transition Movement - and great for disconnected kids. Don't miss her bright green activism, or her blog "Non-toxic Kids".
