America Adapts the Climate Change Podcast
Science:Natural Sciences
In episode 204 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Bill Weir, the Chief Climate Correspondent at CNN. Bill shares his insights into how climate change now intersects with every aspect of our lives, transforming all beats into climate beats. Drawing from his experiences covering climate stories, he emphasizes the power of storytelling. We delve into the inspiration behind his book, "Life As We Know It," which looks at positive climate stories all inspired by the birth of his son. Critiquing mainstream media's coverage of climate change, he calls for a shift towards highlighting adaptation and innovation over sensational disasters. Bill unveils his upcoming special, "Adaptation Nation," and shares the joys and challenges of interviewing icons like Paul McCartney. Bill will leave you with some practical advice on how you can bring climate communication into the important adaptation work you’re doing. Join us as we explore the interconnectedness of climate with our lives and the transformative power of storytelling in shaping our collective response to the greatest challenge of our time.

Quotes:
Bill Weir:
“We’re all going to be climate reporters.”
“I'm an omnivore, but when they created a climate desk at CNN, it occurred to me that this is the beat that includes all the other beats.”
“This is not the earth systems of your grandfather anymore. And all of these stories are connected. So oftentimes I'm, yelling at my TV set while there's some sort of a cataclysmic, something's happening somewhere that is getting national attention. And I'm just like, say it, stay the words, say the words, climate change!”
