First hour: Discussing the UN's new climate change report
Second hour: The dangers faced by law enforcement and the media when responding to crime scenes
The new report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that climate change is already further down the road that we had hoped, and without dramatic and quick changes, bad things are coming. In other words, it's worse than we thought. Meteorological scholar Eric Holthaus responded by pledging to never fly in an airplane again, while listing other changes in his own life that he was willing to make for future generations. Our guests will discuss the path to dramatic change. In studio:
- Sue Staropoli, local organizer for Project Drawdown
- Al Hibner, member of Citizens' Climate Lobby and Project Drawdown
- Sue Hughes-Smith, member of the Rochester People's Climate Coalition
Last week in Rochester, police chased a suspect in multiple shootings as he drove a U-Haul through the city streets. The public watched the suspect and law enforcement exchange gunfire through videos posted by photographers on social media. At one point, the suspect pointed his gun at one of the photographers. This hour, we talk to members of law enforcement and the media about the danger they face doing their jobs. In studio:
- Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter
- Max Schulte, lead photographer at the Democrat & Chronicle
- Georgie Silvarole, suburban trends reporter at the Democrat & Chronicle
