Show Notes
A new study by climate researchers finds that the record-breaking series of wildfires in 2020 released twice the amount of emissions than were saved by carbon-reduction efforts since 2003. This comes as the state’s Air Resources Board will update its metrics to include wildfire pollution in maintaining California’s climate goals. Then, Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina, is stepping down and returning to his environmental activism roots. And finally, our weekend preview features contemporary dance, 17th century music and a new outdoor amphitheater.
