- Living on Earth host Steve Curwood interviewed climate scientist Michael Mann about what happens when Earth passes 1.5 degrees of warming, in an episode produced as a collaborating partner piece.
- 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 1.5°C — per the truncated source].
Why it matters: The timing matters: the interview lands just before the UN's late-September climate summit, giving Mann a platform to frame what 1.5°C of warming actually means at a moment when policymakers are being told current policies fall short.
