1336: Climate Crisis Special

Jonas Salk, EPA Environmental Justice, and Asthma

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy addresses the Hip Hop Caucus, highlighting how climate change disproportionately affects low-income and minority communities. She notes that African-American children are five times more likely to die from asthma attacks exacerbated by air pollution and rising temperatures. The segment also references scientists Jonas Salk and Richard Feynman to argue that science should be a dialogue with nature rather than a rule by majority.
