🔥🌽🎙️ What happens when two Ivy League climate scientists hop in a car, drive into the Nebraska heat, and start talking to folks at churches, breweries, and astronomy clubs about the science behind our changing climate?
That’s what this week’s Three Degrees is all about—and it might be our most inspiring episode yet.
We sit down with Dr. Aaron Match (Cornell) and Dr. Andrew Williams (Princeton), co-founders of Climate Up Close—a nonprofit that skips the doom and gloom and instead meets people where they are, from small towns to swing states, to talk honestly about what scientists know—and don’t—about climate change. No lectures. No prescriptions. Just the science, served up with humility, humanity, and a potluck.
💬 What do tornadoes actually have to do with climate change?
💡 Why hasn’t the Midwest warmed as much as the rest of the country?
🧠 And how do you explain the risks of climate change in a way that resonates with both skeptics and alarmists?
We dig into all that—and what it’s like being a climate scientist in a time when government websites vanish overnight and satellite data budgets get gutted.
🎧 You don’t want to miss this one. It’s smart, it’s honest, and it’s full of those "aha" moments we all need.
