A look at heatwaves, past and present, and our climate future
Resume
This is the Radio Boston rundown for July 20. Tiziana Dearing is our host:
- WBUR's Miriam Wasser and meteorologist Danielle Noyes talk about the short- and long-term consequences of the climate crisis, from the heat wave we're in to the need for government action — at the state and federal level. Plus, we bring back a story from WBUR's Martha Bebinger on an effort to keep communities cool with trees, block by block.
- WBUR's Gabrielle Emanuel joins us to unpack a popular term that describes seeking abortions in a state where it's legal. Then, Christine Dixon, executive director of Someone Else's Child, tackles how to properly provide direct aid and donations.
- Jacquie Olds, author of "Overcoming Loneliness in Everyday Life," and Ashley Kirsner, founder of Skip the Small Talk, discuss the plague of loneliness and how we can be less lonely.
