Climate Cast

Minnesota Public Radio's (MPR) Climate Cast is a great way to learn more about climate change and its widespread impacts. The show's host is MPR's Chief Meteorologist Paul Huttner, who often accompany knowledgeable and impressive guests, including political figures such as Al Gore, as well as experienced researchers and academics. While episodes can cover anything from the nuts and bolts of Hurricane Dorian to the lessons Indigenous communities can teach about tackling climate change, Huttner sticks to the science of it all and approaches each topic in a clear, factual manner. With episodes varying from brief 4-minute breakdowns to lengthier 40-minute discussions, Climate Cast suits any schedule.

In response to the growing concerns about the effects of global climate change on our national treasures, a national strategy of communication, mitigation, and adaptation has been adopted. These Climate Cast podcasts inform park and refuge visitors on the present and future effects of climate change on our public lands and the measures taken to mitigate and adapt to these effects.

The Climate Cast series focuses on a single park or wildlife refuge in each episode, explaining how climate change impacts their resources. You may hear stories about the influence of climate change on a single species, such as the Florida panther or desert pupfish, or how it is changing entire ecosystems. You may also learn about the impacts of some of our most beloved cultural and historical sites, those places that help define who we are as a nation.
