NPR Doing a Week of Climate Solutions [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-10-02  

To be stored in the “better late than never” column, from Oct 2-8 NPR is doing a week of climate stories under the general title NPR’s Climate Week: A Search For Solutions. I heard the first story this morning, a 4:22 bit justifying taking the time out of their regular reporting for this series by pushing back on climate doom and despair without really referencing why it exists in the first place. They mentioned some solutions and the various levels of the issues involved — personal to international — but it was all a reporter talking about the reporting to come, no experts and no data.

Stories available in connection to this series are on seaweed, healthcare’s carbon footprint, a kid’s guide to climate change, and 6 experts giving solutions in 3:55.

So it’s a linked set of singular stories, but not the comprehensive tying of all things to the biosphere crisis that the situation demands.

If we want them to do this more (and we do!), push NPR to increase their coverage of these issues and include climate and biosphere in every story they report.
