The Kenny & JT Show is underway on a snowy, sloppy Thursday. Is it El Nino or La Nina? We spend this time to to remember “Mr. Baseball” Bob Uecker who passed away today.

Global warming is the primary reason for China recording above-average temperatures, a meteorological expert said, as data showed that 2024 was the warmest year since 1961, when the country began compiling complete meteorological observation records.气象专家表示，全球变暖是导致我国气温高于平均水平的主要原因。数据显示，2024年是我国自1961年开始编纂完整观测记录以来最暖的一年。The nation's average temperature reached 10.92 C last year, 1.03 C higher than the historical average, making it the warmest year on record, according to the China Meteorological Administration.据中国气象局介绍，去年我国平均气温达到10.92℃，较历史平均值偏高了1.03℃，成为有记录以来最暖的一年。Data from Weather China, the public weather service center of the CMA, shows that the average temperatures recorded across all provincial-level regions on the Chinese mainland last year ranked among the highest temperatures recorded during the top four warmest years in the country's observation history.中国气象局公共气象服务中心“中国天气网”的数据显示，去年我国大陆所有省级行政区的平均气温均位列我国观测史上最高气温记录的前四名。The past four years were actually China's top four warmest years, while the country's top 10 warmest years have all been recorded in the 21st century, according to Weather China.据中国天气网称，过去四年实际上是我国历史上最热的四年，而我国历史上前十暖的年份全都出现在21世纪。"Global warming has led to phenomena such as rising sea levels and glacier melt, which continue to impact China. For instance, it has significantly increased the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, resulting in more frequent and prolonged heat waves while reducing the occurrence of cold events," said Shi Ying, a researcher at the National Climate Center.国家气候中心研究员石英表示：“全球变暖导致海平面上升、冰川融化等现象，持续影响中国。例如，它显著增加了极端气候事件的频率和强度，导致热浪事件更频繁、更持久，同时减少了寒潮事件的发生。”Natural climate variability such as the El Nino phenomenon—the unusual warming of water surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean—has also played a role in rising temperatures.自然气候变率，如厄尔尼诺现象（即太平洋海面温度异常升高），也在气温上升中发挥了作用。"During the decaying phase of an El Nino event, typically the following year, global average temperatures tend to rise, potentially increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events and magnifying global warming," Shi said.石英说：“在厄尔尼诺事件消退阶段，通常是次年，全球平均气温往往会上升，可能会增加极端气候事件的频率和强度，加剧全球变暖。”The El Nino event, which began in May 2023, has continued to influence China, contributing to its above-average temperatures last year, she added.她补充说，始于2023年5月的厄尔尼诺事件已持续影响中国，助长了去年高于平均水平的气温。On Dec 30, the World Meteorological Organization also announced that 2024 is set to be the warmest year on record, capping a decade of unprecedented heat fueled by human activities.12月30日，世界气象组织也宣布，2024年将成为有记录以来最热的一年，标志着人类活动引发的前所未有的高温十年达到顶峰。In his recent New Year's message, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the world has "endured a decade of deadly heat", with 2024 capping 10 years of unprecedented temperatures.联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯在最近的新年致辞中表示，世界已经“忍受了十年的致命高温”，2024年标志着十年前所未有的高温达到顶峰。WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo described the year 2024 as a sobering wake-up call. "Every fraction of a degree of warming matters, and increases climate extremes, impacts and risks," she said.世界气象组织秘书长席列斯特·绍罗认为2024年是令人警醒的一年。“升温的每一度都很重要，都会增加气候的极端性、影响和风险，”她说。Yu Li, another researcher at the National Climate Center, warned that a 1 C increase in the average temperature could lead to significant and widespread effects on ecosystems. This 1 C increase is associated with an approximately 2.3-meter rise in sea level over time, threatening coastal ecosystems, she noted.国家气候中心另一位研究员于莉警告说，平均气温上升1℃可能会对生态系统产生重大而广泛的影响。她指出，这1℃的上升与长期内海平面上升约2.3米有关，威胁着沿海生态系统。"Rising temperatures affect the genetic diversity of wild crop species and increase the prevalence of pests. Some species may face extinction due to their inability to adapt to rapid climate changes," Yu said.于莉说：“气温上升影响了野生作物品种的遗传多样性，并加剧了害虫的肆虐。一些物种可能因无法适应快速的气候变化而面临灭绝。”A study shows that a 1.58 C rise in the average global surface temperature could lead to the extinction of over 10 percent of species, she added.她补充说，一项研究表明，全球地表平均气温上升1.58℃可能导致超过10%的物种灭绝。Qin Yun, a senior engineer at the National Climate Center, emphasized the impact of rising temperatures on human activities such as agricultural production.国家气候中心高级工程师秦云强调了气温上升对农业生产等人类活动的影响。"Some regions may see temporary increase in crop yields due to warmer temperatures. However, in the long term, agricultural production will likely face greater fluctuations and potential declines," Qin said.秦云说：“气温升高可能会使一些地区作物产量暂时增加。然而从长远来看，农业生产可能会面临更大波动和潜在减产。”Uneven precipitation patterns caused by global warming could lead to decreased rainfall in some areas, resulting in water shortages. "It's estimated that a 1 C rise could increase the number of people affected by water scarcity by 400 million to 1.7 billion," Qin said.全球变暖导致降水模式不均，可能会使一些地区降雨量减少，造成水资源短缺。秦云说：“据估计，气温每上升1℃可能会导致受水资源短缺影响的人数增加4亿至17亿。”Rising temperatures also elevate the risks of heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke and heat exhaustion, contributing to higher mortality rates, she added.她补充说，气温上升还会增加中暑和热衰竭等热相关疾病发生的风险，导致死亡率上升。The year 2025 has also begun with warmer-than-average temperatures. On Wednesday afternoon, much of the area south of the Yangtze River experienced temperatures exceeding 15 C, which is far from the biting cold typically expected during winter.2025年也以高于平均水平的气温开始。1月1日下午，长江以南大部分地区的气温超过15℃，与冬季通常的严寒相去甚远。A cold front for the whole country was forecast from Jan 2, but due to its weak intensity, most areas will experience above-average temperatures despite some mild fluctuations until Jan 12, the National Climate Center said.据国家气候中心称，全国性寒潮预计从1月2日开始，由于强度较弱，尽管气温会有小幅波动，但大部分地区的气温仍将高于平均水平，直至1月12日。Researcher Shi said that extreme heat events in China are projected to increase in frequency, with longer duration and broader impact.研究员石英表示，预计我国极端高温事件发生频率更高、持续时间更长、影响范围更广。"Under high emission scenarios, an extreme heat event that currently occurs once in 50 years could occur every one or two years by the end of the 21st century," Shi said.石英说：“在高排放情景下，目前50年一遇的极端高温事件到21世纪末可能变为1-2年一遇。”She suggested developing early-warning systems for climate risks, focusing on the spatial-temporal patterns of extreme events such as heat waves. "We need to conduct detailed assessments of the impacts of extreme weather events on key sectors."她建议建立气候风险早期预警系统，重点关注热浪等极端事件的时空格局。“我们需要详细评估极端气候事件对关键行业产生的影响。”Measures should also be taken to develop monitoring and risk-warning technologies, as well as for enhancing societal resilience to climate change, she added.她补充说，还应采取措施开发气候监测和风险预警技术，并增强社会对气候变化的适应能力。variabilityn.多变性

*) Israel's genocidal war on besieged Gaza enters its 400th day Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed more than 43,500 Palestinians, 70 percent of them women and children, and wounded over 102,700 others, according to local health authorities. Analysts say the estimate is conservative and the actual death toll could be around or beyond 200,000, as thousands of Palestinians remain missing or buried under the debris of bombed homes and shops. Another 10,000 have been abducted and jailed at Israeli torture sites. *) Stein and Trump gain surprising support among Muslim voters American Muslim voters overwhelmingly backed Green Party's candidate Jill Stein in the 2024 presidential election, with 53.2 percent casting ballots in her favour, according to a new survey. In Michigan, Stein received even stronger support, with 59 percent of 502 Muslim respondents backing her, compared to 22 percent for Trump and 14 percent for Harris, according to the poll. Frustration over the Biden administration's Gaza policy led to a "sharp drop" in Muslim support for Harris compared to Biden's 2020 Muslim voter base, according to CAIR's National Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw. *) US, Canada groups urge leaders to condemn anti-Arab violence in Amsterdam Two prominent Muslim groups have criticised North American leaders and media for ignoring attacks and anti-Arab violence by Maccabi Tel-Aviv fans during a Europa League match. "It has been deeply distressing and disturbing to witness the violence that took place in Amsterdam around the Europa League match last night," The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) wrote on X, denouncing all forms of intimidation. The Muslim group urged Canadian leaders to address the incidents directly. "If Canadian leaders choose to weigh in on this issue, they must condemn the well-documented attacks on Arabs in Amsterdam," the statement says. *) 2024 to be the hottest year since industrial revolution Scientists say that 2024 might go down in history as the hottest since humans began burning fossil fuels. According to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), the global average temperature is expected to exceed the critical 1.5C threshold above pre-industrial levels. This would mark a historic milestone, underscoring the dramatic impact of greenhouse gas emissions and climate crisis. The C3S Monthly Climate Bulletin for October highlights that human activities have created an elevated temperature baseline. An El Nino event also played a role in this year's heating but the climate's complexity is influenced by multiple factors beyond greenhouse gases alone, such as solar radiation, volcanic eruptions, aerosols, and natural climate variability, according to the scientists. *) Turkish first lady attends event on Ottoman sufi poet, heritage in Hungary Türkiye's first lady has attended a special programme in Budapest promoting a book on a 14th-century Ottoman sufi poet and the empire's rich heritage in Hungary. Erdogan visited the tomb of Ottoman Dervish poet Gul Baba — also known as Jafer, or the "Father of Roses" in Hungary — which was restored in 2018 in a collaboration between the Hungarian government and TIKA, the Turkish state aid agency. "I am happy to gather around the legacy of Gul Baba, who came from Anatolia and was laid to rest in this land, on the 100th anniversary of the Türkiye-Hungary Friendship Treaty” she says. "It is truly exciting that six years after TIKA's restoration efforts and the establishment of the cultural centre at the Gul Baba Tomb, this spiritual heritage is now being crowned with a new book," Erdogan wrote in the guestbook at the Gul Baba Tomb.

The United Nations is warning that the world is on its way to "catastrophic" climate change, unless huge efforts are made to curb carbon emissions. It says the current goal of limiting warming to one-and-a-half Celsius above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, will soon be dead. Current projections are closer to three degrees. We will speak to one of the authors of the UN report. Former president Donald Trump and vice president Kamala Harris have continued to attack each other as the US election draws closer. Immigration remains one of the major election issues and a top concern of American voters. Newshour's James Menendez has been travelling from Mexico to the southern United States to find out what's driving the debate.Also, grief and chaos for Palestinians as Israel predicts a ‘sharp conclusion' in northern Gaza.

Dit blyk asof die gretig-afgewagte La Nina-verskynsel hierdie somer nie so sterk of waarskynlik sal wees nie, volgens verskeie weerburo's wêreldwyd. La Nina volg gewoonlik op 'n El Nino-weerverskynsel, wat die afgelope somer Namibië en Suider-Afrika in 'n ernstige droogte vasgevang het. La Nina bring gewoonlik goeie reënval in Suider-Afrika, wat broodnodig is na die droogte.

Mradi wa Vijana Kilimo Biashara (VKB) unaotekelezwa na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula duniani (WFP) nchini Tanzania unawapatia vijana wakulima wadogo ujuzi na rasilimali zinazohitajika ili kuboresha uzalishaji wa chakula na kujenga uchumi endelevu wakati huu ambao madhara ya El niño [EL NINYO] yanayosabisha ukame na mafuriko yamekuwa dhahiri. Bosco Cosmas na maelezo zaidi.Hali ya El Nino huwa changamoto kwa wakulima kwani hawana uhakika wa mavuno ya kile walichopanda. Hali ni tofauti kwa mkulima kijana Coletha Kiwenge anayeendesha kilimo biashara kupitia mradi huo wa WFP wa Vijana Kilimo Biashara (VKB) nchini Tanzania. Yeye amefanikiwa kuvuna mazao mwaka mzima, licha ya changamoto za hali ya hewa zinazotokana na El Niño.“Pamoja na mradi huu wa Vijana Kilimo Biashara, unaofadhiliwa na Shirika la mpango wa chakula duniani na mtekelezaji ‘Farm Afrika', tumejifunza yafuatayo: - Moja, matumizi ya mbegu bora, na kwa msimu huu tumetumia mbegu bora au mbegu chotara za alizeti Pamoja na mtama Pamoja na kufadhiliwa hizo mbegu ambazo zina mazao mengi.”Kutokana na madhara ya hali ya hewa na tabianchi, WFP imeelekeza nguvu katika kilimo cha umwagiliaji kwa wakulima hao.“Lakini pia tumechimbiwa kisima na Shirika la Mpango wa chakula duniani WFP, kisima hiko ni lengo na madhumuni kwaajili ya kilimo cha bustani, na kwasasa kwenye bustani yetu tumeanza na nyanya na ziko shambani. Lakini kwenye kikundi cha KAPATA, tunaendelea na upando mbalimbali.”

According to a World Meteorological Organisation report from May 2023, it's now more likely than not that global temperatures will surpass the key milestone of 1.5°C warming. This is of course down to human-related greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the El Nino weather phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean, which was confirmed to have started as of early June. Of course the long term impact of such warming is expected to be catastrophic, but even in the short term it means that all of us are faced with increasingly frequent heatwaves, the likes of which saw temperature records broken across the UK in July 2022.

*) Mediators invite Israel, Hamas to resume Gaza truce talks Israel's war on Gaza has entered its 11th month and mediators are calling on Tel Aviv and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas to resume urgent talks on August 15, either in Doha or Cairo. Qatar, Egypt and the US are leading actors in the mediation to put an end to Israel's war that has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians and left the tiny coastal enclave of Gaza in ruins. The mediators say they now have a framework agreement on the table with only the details of the implementation left to conclude. *) Haniyeh's assassination shows Israel doesn't want ceasefire: Erdogan Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has once again called upon the international community to stop Israel's dangerous escalation of its military aggression. Commenting on Israel's assassination of Hamas's politburo leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, the Turkish president said Tel Aviv has once again demonstrated its lack of intention to engage in a ceasefire. Erdogan warned that the Israeli war on Gaza could engulf the region into a wider and an even destructive conflict. *) Zelenskyy sends tough message to Putin as Ukraine enters Russia's Kursk Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has lauded his troops for storming Russia's southwestern Kursk region — an incursion called a “major provocation” by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The incursion appears to be the most significant Ukrainian attack in over two years of the conflict. Putin called Kiev's actions an “indiscriminate attack against civilian facilities, residential buildings and ambulance vehicles”. *) Trump recommits to September 10 debate and lashes out at Harris After recently backing out, Republican candidate Donald Trump has recommitted to debating Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump held a lengthy news conference in which he taunted his rival, boasted of his crowd on January 6, 2021, and questioned whether there would be “honest elections” in November. The debate is likely to take place on September 10 on ABC, setting up the first face-to-face match-up between the two rivals in what polls show is an extremely tight race. *) Earth's record-breaking heat streak ends but climate threat remains July 2024 narrowly misses being the hottest month on record, ending a 13-month streak as El Nino subsides, but experts warn that the climate crisis' impact is far from over. The European climate agency Copernicus said the overall context hasn't changed, adding that the Earth's climate continues to warm. The El Nino effect has ended, the climate agency said, and hence July's slight easing of temperatures.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on the end of a 13-month global record heat streak.

Are We There Yet? Tom Donnan part 1When I was a young child and my family would take a trip somewhere, we would normally drive in a car. And having to sit in the back seat (where you can't see anything)… and in the days when the car air conditioner was known as a 4-60 (four windows down and drive 60 MPH)… it was hot. And it was not unusual for me to start bugging my dad asking, “Are we there yet?” When I had kids of my own and taking trips – I also had to answer that same question from them… Well, today, I'm going to ask this question of my guest. Tom Donnan is back with us today as we discuss Bible prophecy in relation to current events – and do we have some current events happening right now that definitely relate to Bible Prophecy. Amen! Let's start with a subject that we always seem to drift towards anyway – and that is how NATURE itself is reflecting the awesomeness of God. That can be in its beauty – but it can also be in its veracity. We can start with the earliest hurricane to hit CAT 5 status in history, Beryl. Naturally, the liberals are claiming “climate change,” but scientists have said it is simply the El Nino and El Nina cycle of warming water. The point I'm making though, regardless of the “natural cause” – is these things are depicted in the Bible as happening in the last days. Do you see this as well? What about the story about the possible solar flares that are increasing in intensity? I saw a story a day or so ago that discussed the core… the actual core of the earth – has now REVERSED is rotation… something that has never happened before. They had noticed it has been slowing for decades, but now, they report it has actually reversed course! They have no idea what is about to happen now! Let's talk about society in general, especially here in the US, but also around the world. 1 Timothy 3 speaks about what it will be like living in the last days… and I think we can see ourselves in this verse, which says, “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” Tom, what are your thoughts on this topic and “Are we there yet?” Just look at what has happened to most of the major metropolitan centers of influence in this nation… luxury tourist hotels are closed to the public and turned into housing for illegal migrants. Billions of dollars are being spent by cities (that, by the way don't have billions of dollars to spend), just to pay for these hotels and taking care of these migrants. The Bible is very clear, a house divided against itself will not stand. We are a divided nation right now. We are more divided NOW than in the Civil War. And that is an understatement about the condition of this nation. ALL of the major law enforcement agencies from local to federal are warning of an immenent possibility of a major terrorist attack (bigger than 9-11). Why? Because of allowing open borders and knowing… absolutely KNOWING… that middle aged men from countries with ties to terrorism – are streaming across the border. Most are unaccompanied… and that does not even consider the “gottaway's.” In essence, America has lost it's hedge of protection. CONTACT INFORMATION: Healingthenation1776@gmail.com Six...

In a podcast episode, the host discusses how Burlington, located in Southern Ontario, was once considered resilient to climate change impacts. However, in recent years, vulnerabilities within the community's resiliency have been exposed. The host highlights how extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding, have started to affect Burlington. While the city had not previously experienced significant damage from climate change-related events, recent occurrences like Hurricane Beryl and subsequent heavy rainfall have led to flooding, property damage, and disruptions within the community. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these vulnerabilities to enhance community resiliency in the face of climate change. It discusses the need for proactive planning, infrastructure improvements, and community engagement to mitigate the impacts of climate change on Burlington and similar areas. The experiences shared in the podcast underscore the reality that no community is immune to the effects of climate change. Even in well-developed regions like Burlington, the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are posing challenges that require immediate attention and action. By acknowledging and responding to these challenges, communities can work towards building greater resilience and adapting to the changing climate conditions. Vulnerabilities in Community Resiliency Exposed by Extreme Weather Events The podcast episode highlights how vulnerabilities in community resiliency are being exposed by extreme weather events, specifically heavy rain and flooding. The host discusses how their community in Burlington, Ontario, had previously been considered resilient to climate change consequences due to the lack of major storms, droughts, or forest fires. However, in recent years, they have experienced significant vulnerabilities in their community's resiliency. The episode describes a recent event where Hurricane Beryl brought heavy rain to the region, causing flooding and exposing weaknesses in the infrastructure. The sudden and intense rainfall led to water accumulation in neighborhoods, resulting in flooded basements and homes. The host mentions instances where fridges were floating in basements, and water levels reached above fence lines, forcing some residents to evacuate. Furthermore, the episode emphasizes the impact of these extreme weather events on individuals, with anecdotal stories of insurance companies not covering damages due to categorizing them as "acts of God" or natural disasters. This lack of coverage adds financial strain to those affected, highlighting the need for improved community resiliency measures. The host also raises concerns about the city's preparedness for future climate change-related events, noting the importance of adapting infrastructure and planning for more frequent and severe storms. The discussion extends to the need for collaboration between community members, local officials, engineers, and organizations to address vulnerabilities and enhance resiliency. Overall, the episode underscores the urgent need to address vulnerabilities in community resiliency exposed by extreme weather events like heavy rain and flooding. It serves as a reminder that even developed countries are not immune to the impacts of climate change and emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to build resilience in the face of changing weather patterns. Building resilience against climate change impacts requires active engagement from community members. In the podcast episode, the host highlighted the importance of seeking answers, getting educated, and engaging with local officials and organizations. Here are some key points to consider: Seeking Answers: Community members should proactively seek information about climate change impacts in their area. This includes understanding the vulnerabilities of their community, such as susceptibility to flooding, extreme weather events, or other consequences of climate change. By asking questions and seeking answers, individuals can better prepare themselves and their community for potential challenges. Getting Educated: Education plays a crucial role in building resilience. By educating themselves about climate change, its impacts, and potential solutions, community members can make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. This knowledge empowers individuals to advocate for sustainable practices, support resilience-building initiatives, and contribute to community preparedness efforts. Engaging with Local Officials and Organizations: Collaboration with local officials, government agencies, and environmental organizations is essential for effective climate change resilience. Community members can engage with these stakeholders to voice their concerns, provide input on resilience strategies, and participate in decision-making processes. By actively participating in local initiatives, individuals can influence policies, advocate for sustainable development practices, and contribute to building a more resilient community. Overall, community engagement is key to enhancing resilience against climate change impacts. By seeking answers, getting educated, and actively engaging with local stakeholders, individuals can play a significant role in preparing their communities for the challenges posed by a changing climate.

Dr. Emily Howe is an aquatic ecologist with the Washington state chapter of The Nature Conservancy, and she holds a Ph.D. from the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington. Her work integrates across ecosystem boundaries, investigating how landscape configuration and management shape cross-boundary relationships for food webs, organisms, and ecosystem processes. - At the Nature Conservancy, Emily's projects stretch from the high peaks of the North Cascades all the way down to the estuary of Port Susan Bay, and her work highlights the interconnectedness of everything from snowpack to salmon populations, forest management to marsh grass health. Much of Emily's work focuses on understanding liminal spaces– areas in nature where boundaries blend together and where the interactions between ecosystems can be fluid and dynamic. - Since the earliest days of European settlement, this area has been subject to a wide variety of threats to the overall ecosystem—aggressive logging, wildfire suppression, attempts to engineer order into the ever-changing estuaries, and more. And with the intensification of climate change, snowfall and its resulting snowpack have decreased, which only exacerbates the negative effects and threats to the ecosystem. - But thanks to Emily and her team of stakeholders and partners, there are many, many reasons to be optimistic about the future. Combining cutting-edge science with Indigenous knowledge, Emily and TNC are making great progress toward finding solutions that can help with everything from increasing the depth and duration of snowpack in the Cascades to restoring all-important salmon habitat, and much much more. - If you're a fan of ecology and are interested in how Indigenous wisdom can bolster our 21st-century scientific knowledge, then you'll love this episode. We start our conversation at sea level, discussing the magic of the tidal ecosystems, then work our way up the into mountains, eventually discussing all things snowpack and forest health.  We talk about TNC's partnership with the Stilliguamish Tribe, how forest gaps can affect snowpack, snow droughts and El Nino, collaboration with federal agencies, and rising sea levels in the Northwest.  Emily also talks about her career path to becoming a scientist and she offers up some excellent book recommendations. - I love the Pacific Northwest, so I greatly appreciate everything that Emily and her partners are doing to keep this region of the West so wild, special, and healthy.  I hope you enjoy. --- Dr. Emily Howe "Water Connects Us All" by Leah Palmer Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/emily-howe/ --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Colorado chapter of The Nature Conservancy and TNC chapters throughout the Western United States.
