Description

On today's 'BradCast':  The first six months of 2025, featured the costliest weather and climate-related disasters on record for the U.S.  We know about it because former NOAA scientists have resurrected the world-leading climate/weather science agency's Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters Database, after it was shut down by the climate science deniers of the Trump Administration, and brought their skills to the non-profit climate research organization Climate Central. Former NOAA climate scientist TOM DI LIBERTO explains the vital importance of the database and NOAA's climate research, why Team Trump wants to dismantle and privatize NOAA, whether it can be rebuilt, and much more. Virginia state Democratic lawmakers launch ingenious plan to counter the unprecedented Trump/Republican mid-decade gerrymandering efforts in multiple states to rig the 2026 midterm elections. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
