Description

On today's 'BradCast':  Another court victory for New York Attorney General Letitia James, after a federal judge struck down Donald Trump's executive order halting virtually all wind energy projects on federal lands/waters. Europe's climate service announced 2025 will be either the second or third hottest year ever recorded globally. Renowned climate scientist DR. MICHAEL E. MANN of the Univ. of Pennsylvania explains what has gone wrong at the UN climate talks, most recently in Brazil, where authoritarian petro-states succeeded in blocking substantive action on climate change.  Dr. Mann also covers what remains of the 'carbon budget'; billionaire Bill Gates spreading climate disinformation at an alarming rate; why he remains optimistic about the fight to address climate change; and his new book, 'Science Under Siege: the Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten Our World'.
