About this episode
Lawmakers in the United States are racing to get a key debt ceiling bill through both chambers of Congress and signed into law. The Treasury Department says June 5th is the day they would no longer be able to pay the nation’s bills. On today’s show we dig into one key element of the deal – climate policy. Environmentalists are warning that this deal could have significant ramifications for the climate because it fast-tracks a controversial gas pipeline in West Virginia. Climate expert Michael Gerrard joins us to break this down.
Also on today's show: Candace Rondeaux, Director, Future Frontlines; Isabel Kershner, NY Times Correspondent in Jerusalem and Author, "The Land of Hope and Fear"; writer/filmmaker Nida Manzoor
