Leslie is first joined by Vijay Limaye, Advisor to the NRDC Action Fund, whose mission is to build political support for protecting the planet and its people.
The two discuss the unprecedented wildfires on the west coast, as well as a new blog on how President Trump is worsening the planet's climate crisis. The piece is written by NRDC President Gina McCarthy, and is titled, "Trump Fans Flames of Climate Crisis While West Is Burning."
