A global warming primer before the Talkin Tropics Show.

At 8pm EDT we will play an IPR Special about Global Warming:

8:00-8:30

What's Up with the Weather?
The Politics of Climate Change

Global warming is transforming life as we know it from the arctic islands to the Long Island Sound. Now, 25 years after we first heard the term, scientists say the debate is over - climate change is here.

On this edition, we'll hear about whom climate is affecting, industry and government cover-ups, and those calling for action before it's too late.

This week's host: Pauline Bartolone. Contributing produce


Then at 8:30- 9:00

Katrina Uncovers:
Environment, Health and Rescue

Millions of lives torn apart, a city in ruins, and a government in denial. No doubt, Katrina is one of the most catastrophic and costly events ever to hit the U.S.

In this first part of a special series, hear the powerful stories from those who survived and find out how you can help with the relief efforts in your local communities and beyond.

We'll also take a look at how the events unfolded after Katrina smashed into the shores of the southern U.S. coastline and we'll talk to a water expert who explains what the people in the gulf coast might be up against in the coming months.
