In episode 97 of America Adapts, which is a re-release of Episode 47, Doug talks with noted climate change skeptic, Marc Morano of Climate Depot. Doug and Marc discuss his motivation to be a contrarian voice on climate change and his history working on environmental issues, from being a reporter for Rush Limbaugh, to being chief spokesman for noted climate skeptic Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma. We also talk about the current state of climate affairs. In the second part of the episode, Dr. Randy Olson joins Doug to deconstruct the conversation with Marc and to see what the climate change community can learn from Marc's tactics and motivations. In light of recent major setbacks, e.g., pulling out of the Paris Agreement, Randy analyzes Marc's approach and offers a way forward to the climate community. Doug includes an updated wrap up, sharing his thoughts on climate change communication. Donate to America Adapts Listen to America Adapts on your favorite app here! In this Episode: AMAZONIAN ROOTS OF SKEPTICISM – Marc shares the roots of his climate skepticism and how his early work led him to the positions he now takes. SHOW ME THE MONEY? - Marc and Doug discuss money involved on both sides of this issue. Marc discusses how he is not motivated by money but by his own certainty around climate change science. MIDDLE FINGER CLIMATE POLICIES – Marc discusses his admiration for President Trump for thumbing his nose at the establishment and pulling out of the Paris Agreement. Marc also explains how Trump could have handled the pullout more effectively. Part 2: Randy Olson Deconstructs INTERVIEW ANALYSIS – Randy discusses Marc's interview and explains what motivates Marc in his climate skepticism. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS – Randy provides some tough love on what the climate community can do next to effectively counter people like Marc Morano. It's blunt but useful advice. Interviewed in this episode: Marc Morano Randy Olson *This was an unusual episode, with many references to scientific studies. Fact checking the conversation would have made it impossible to have a useful conversation, but I wanted to include a few resources related to some of the discussions in the podcast. Marc Morano on multiple occasions mentioned the study where there is 97% consensus that climate change is happening and he implied this included people studying areas impacted by climate change (he mentioned a hypothetical scientist studying butterflies) and the implication is that this person would be included in this 97% number. There are multiple studies looking at consensus on this issue, and that's probably what he's referring to, but there was a study looking at what publishing climate scientists are saying, and that's where the 97% number was reached. I thought it was important to clarify that information.

In episode 93 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons interviews Dr. Carolyn Kousky, the Executive Director at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania. In this lively discussion, Doug and Carolyn discuss: how wildfires in California drove their utility into bankruptcy and what policy reforms are needed to prevent this from happening again; who owns the legal risks of climate change; needed disaster aid reform; the dysfunctional nature of flood insurance and the need to help low income households get access to appropriate disaster insurance. These topics and much more! Donate to America Adapts Listen to America Adapts on your favorite app here! Topics covered: Climate change and California wildfires and that state's unique legal liability to these threats. Who 'owns' risk when it come to climate impacts? What are the major shortcomings of disaster aid. The critical need to engage with decisionmakers early in the policy process. How do you make academic adaptation research relevant in the real world. History and role of the Penn Risk Management Center. The challenge of people making illogical home buying decisions even if presented with accurate disaster risk information. (think flood plain and coastlines) Low income families need for disaster insurance and policy reform to help them get it. Why would any rationale private insurer do business in Florida? Need a Medicaid equivalent for low income households on resilience. What are the adaptation academic opportunities in universities. Dr. Carolyn Kousky is Executive Director at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania, where she also directs the Policy Incubator. Dr. Kousky's research has examined multiple aspects of disaster insurance markets, the National Flood Insurance Program, federal disaster aid and response, and policy responses to potential changes in extreme events with climate change.

In episode 88 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons interviews Dr. Marcy Rockman, cultural resource and climate adaptation expert. Marcy, until recently, was the Cultural Resources Adaptation Coordinator for the National Park Service and is now the IPCC Team Lead with the International Council on Monuments and Sites Climate Change and Heritage Working Group. Marcy and I discuss her time at the Park Service, developing the first of its kind cultural resource and climate change white paper. We also talk about how climate change will impact historic sites and how it's a threat multiplier. Marcy also discusses the tension at the Park Service between natural resources and cultural resources which ultimately led to her leaving the NPS. Hear about these issues and much more! Donate to America Adapts Other Topics covered: Is time more important than resources? When do historic sites stop making history? Climate change is a threat multiplier for cultural history. Has the NPS ever let a park or resource 'go' due to climate change? Some historic sites are 'frozen in time' but climate change may allow them to start making history again. Should we let Ft. Jefferson in Florida fall apart into the sea? Tension at NPS on natural resources versus historic preservation. Natural resource parks and cultural resources parks are sometimes treated in a gender oriented way. Nat resources the masculine, cultural the more feminine. History of the cultural resources memo at NPS and what went into it.

In episode 87 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons interviews Dr. Kyle Powys Whyte. Kyle is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Community Sustainability and a faculty affiliate of the American Indian & Indigenous Studies and Environmental Science & Policy programs at Michigan State University. Kyle is also an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Kyle and I discuss how indigenous people define urgency in the face of climate change, managed retreat for tribal communities, the national climate assessment and tribal issues, the sometimes controversial relationship between tribes and climate scientists, climate change's role in ongoing colonization of indigenous people, effective tribal engagement and much more in a fascinating and sometimes raw conversation. Donate to America Adapts Other Topics covered: Fundamentals of indigenous people and climate adaptation. Tribal people have historically 'adapted' to environmental change many times. What does managed retreat mean for tribal people? Is history repeating itself with displacing native people in response to climate change? Can existing tribal treaty rights be used as a legal tool to combat climate change? How did the recent national climate assessment do on tribal issues (hint: pretty well); Does tribal integrity help with adapting to climate change more effectively? For tribes, resilience is cultural and spiritual, and something always done by tribes. Indigenous people can define climate urgency and intrinsic value differently than western cultures. The challenges of tribal engagement, from both tribal perspective and western cultures. Does tribal 'bureaucracy' inhibit climate adaptation and partner building? The sometimes controversial relationship between tribes and climate scientists. Raw transcripts of this episode are available here.
