This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Ted McIntyre, Franklin resident and climate activist. We recorded this via the Zoom conference bridge Feb 17, 2022.  

This is part 3 of a series on Marking Sense of Climate. In this session we point you to a couple of recent Climate Minute podcasts for related info. We then cover three recent news articles and discuss how they can affect the MA roadmap to a net zero 2050.

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 recording runs about 38 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Ted McIntyre
