Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
A forest fire in Umatilla National Forest in Oregon burns in July 2021.
Last year was the hottest on record. 2024 is predicted to be another record year. And we are seeing the very real effects of this changing climate in more intense forest fires, and more severe and unpredictable weather. This has pushed the idea of geoengineering, or deliberately intervening in climate systems, closer to reality.
Christopher Flavelle is a reporter for the New York Times. His work is part of a new series for the paper called “Buying Time,” a look at the risky ways humans are starting to manipulate nature to fight climate change. He joins Diane to talk about the perils and promise of these technologies.
