FM #940 - Making Sense of Climate #23 - 02/07/23
This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Ted McIntyre, Franklin resident and climate activist via the Zoom conference bridge Tuesday, February 7, 2023.
In this episode we covered the following topics:
- Cold, weather incidents
- Bill McKIbben reference of book “End of Nature”
- Passive House (or Haus) technology
- Wu revamps Boston planning
- Ties to Franklin efforts on “Franklin For All” project and inclusionary zoning
- Master Plan, determining the action plan for Franklin’s future
This discussion continues our journey understanding the MA roadmap toward net zero and while it helps me “make sense of climate”, we hope it helps with your understanding as well.
If you have climate questions or Franklin specific climate questions, send them in and we’ll try to answer them in a future session.
The conversation runs about 36 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Ted McIntyre as he helps me ‘make sense of climate’
