With Earth Day 2021 approaching this month, Nimo and Jas took time to analyze the cycle of climate change. Specifically, the relationship between climate, the built environment, human behavior, and the daily human experience in a world that is getting warmer every day. In recent times, 2015 to 2019 had the top five hottest years on record. And 19 of the 20 warmest years have occurred since 2001. Press play to hear:

A brief explanation of the difference between climate and weather.
An overview of specific human behaviors that lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Such as cement manufacturing or factory farming.
Statistics that prove global temperature rising and extreme events associated with climate change like hurricanes and droughts.
National policy goals related to combating climate change and individual steps you can take to reduce carbon footprints
