- Living on Earth aired an interview hosted by Steve Curwood with climate scientist Michael Mann examining what happens when Earth passes 1.5°C of warming.
- The United Nations is preparing to hold a climate summit in late September and is warning that current climate policies will lead to [continued warming beyond stated targets — source text truncated mid-sentence].
- Michael Mann is identified in the segment as a climate scientist whose expertise frames the segment's discussion of the 1.5°C threshold and its consequences.
Why it matters: The UN's late-September summit is the diplomatic venue where countries revisit national climate pledges; the body's warning that those pledges are insufficient — paired with Mann's scientific framing on 1.5°C — sets the substantive stakes for negotiations before the summit opens.
