This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Ted McIntyre. We recorded this via the Zoom conference bridge Jan 20, 2022.  

We cover the following topics within the realm of climate change

• The 12 points of the MA legislation passes 2021
• Define some key terms (greenhouse gas), net zero, environmental justice, and geo micro-district)

As we did not get to cover all the points of the legislation, stay tuned we’ll schedule at least another session

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