Episode 8: Anything Can Happen

Liz and Bekah breakdown the hyperbole and catastrophization in reporting about environmental events.

Will California’s coastline disappear? Should New Yorkers fear the apocalypse at every turn?

It turns out, probably not. This episode offers a discussion of the worst case scenario focus and need to create a sense of doom and gloom at every turn in articles from the Guardian and the NYT. A report on the potential for loss of coastline in CA and coverage of the Canadian wildfire-related air pollution in NY take center stage.
