The planet had a rough week. A landmark UN report confirms the 1.5°C climate target is essentially gone — so what happens now? Meanwhile, historic wildfires are burning across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, a haze crisis from Indonesia's fires is affecting five countries, and the world's coral reefs are facing their most severe bleaching event on record. We break down what's driving each story and why it matters

The UN just said what climate scientists have been dreading: there's no realistic path left to keep global warming under 1.5°C. In this episode, we break down UNEP's landmark Limiting Overshoot report — what it actually says, why the carbon math doesn't add up anymore, what "tipping points" really mean, and why crossing this line doesn't mean the fight is over. If you've heard the headline but not the full story, start here.

During this episode I was joined by Flora Finchley, an author from Saint Ignace. We discussed the possibility of how climate based fiction can help to save the real world.

The trailer for things to come every Friday I will be covering environmental issues, climate change, or conservation from Northern Michigan.
