Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Michael
Coren, a journalist from the Washington Post who writes the
Climate Coach Advice column. We go behind the scenes and learn how
a national newspaper like the Wash Post covers climate change.
Several major newspapers have expanded their climate coverage in
the last couple years and you’ll learn how the Post has structured
that coverage. We
also discuss some of the diverse topics he covers in his “Climate
Coach” column and his increasing focus on climate adaptation. The
conversation also touches on climate skepticism and the state of
climate action in California, showcasing Michael's unique
perspective and expertise in the field of climate journalism. The
episode starts with a short interview with Laur Hess Fisher from
MIT who shares a preview of Season 5 of the Today I Learned
Climate Podcast.
