One Park. 24 Hours.
View Date:2024-12-24 07:06:16
In honor of the end of summer weather, Short Wave brings you something a little bit different today: a day at the park.
It's easy to take city parks for granted, or to think of them as separate from nature and from the Earth's changing climate. City parks don't feel wild and sexy, like Yosemite. But global warming is happening everywhere and to everyone, and the place where many of us come face-to-face with climate change is our local park.
So, if city parks are where most Americans personally experience our hotter Earth, we thought we should take some time and really consider what happens in one park on one hot summer day.
On today's episode, Ryan Kellman and Rebecca Hersher from NPR's Climate Desk team up with Short Wave producer Margaret Cirino to spend 24 hours in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park.
To see photos of city parks around the U.S., and learn more about how your city park helps fight climate change and how cities are helping parks adapt to a hotter Earth, check out more of Ryan and Rebecca's reporting here.
This episode was produced by Margaret Cirino, Rebecca Hersher and Ryan Kellman, edited by Gabriel Spitzer and fact checked by Rebecca Ramirez. The audio engineer was Gilly Moon.
