WLRN’s edition 39 program dedicated to women and the problem of global climate change floods your senses with news and stories of women around the world fighting for the survival of our species on the planet.

In this July 4th, 2019 release of WLRN’s monthly news program you will hear the world news as written and delivered by April Neult before hearing Thistle’s song “We are More” about getting active in the face of the overwhelming problems of war and climate change.

After the song, we present two interviews Thistle did with professors Joni Seager, author of The Women’s Atlas and Earth Follies: Coming to Feminist Terms with the Global Environmental Crisis, and Leah Horowitz, professor of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin who focuses on grassroots engagements with environmental issues. Both professors confirm that climate change is disproportionately impacting women yet power over what to do about it remains primarily in the hands of men,  the main drivers of the problem.

After the interviews, you will hear Sekhmet Sheowl’s commentary that encourages us to explore and reconnect with nature, away from cameras, phones and electronics, in order to be fully alive on planet earth in these times of massive change.

The full interview with Leah is here: Full WLRN Interview with Leah Horowitz.
