The Green - August 13, 2021

Listen to this edition of The Green or individual segments below:

A report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) this week says human activities have “unequivocally” warmed the atmosphere.

And it warns avoiding some of the most disastrous impacts of climate change is only possible with rapid emissions reductions.

The report’s findings are broken down by region for the first time. They’re significant for low-lying Delaware, which faces numerous threats from climate change.

Delaware Public Media’s Sophia Schmidt talks with one of the report’s lead authors, Bob Kopp - director of the Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Rutgers University.
