This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Ted McIntyre, Franklin resident and climate activist via the Zoom conference bridge Monday, October 2, 2023.
In this episode we cover the following topics
- First Monday in October
- Gas pipeline expansion
- Bikes and batteries
Links to the articles we talk of are collected below.
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 49 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Ted as we help ‘make sense of climate.’
