'BradCast' 7/19/2022 (Guest: Dr. Leah Stokes on Manchin and our deepening climate crisis)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Multiple, simultaneous record-smashing heat waves across the globe are wreaking havoc from Asia to Europe to the US.\\xa0 Britain officially set a new, all-time high national temperature record of 104.5 Fahrenheit for the first time in nearly 400 years of temperature records, 'virtually impossible' without human-caused climate change, according their chief meteorologist. The unprecedented heat waves around the world come on the heels of the US Supreme Court curbing the federal government's authority to act on climate change, and corrupt Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) tanking President Joe Biden's climate and clean energy legislation yet again. Biden says he will use every power he has as president to address man-made global warming. But what tools are still available?\\xa0 DR. LEAH STOKES, climate policy expert at UC-Santa Barbara, explains the stakes of the climate crisis and what Manchin's sabotage has cost the US.\\xa0 She also says there is plenty that Biden can still do, and delves into potential executive actions and federal agency policies that would have a significant impact on cutting U.S. carbon pollution, as well as state, local and individual actions that will make an important difference in the fight. Dr. Stokes emphasizes that climate action 'is about cleaner and better technology. It's not about sacrifice, it's really about better solutions. And that's why we're going to win.'
