Shaughnessy and Joel Clement, Senior Fellow at the Union of Concerned Scientists and former Director of the Office of Policy Analysis at the U.S. Department of the Interior, talk about blowing the whistle on former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke for his efforts to purge the agency of government scientists working to address climate change in the Trump Administration.

The World Meteorological Organization labeled summer 2019's arctic and boreal wildland fires "unprecedented." In the first episode of In This Climate, the interviewers explore with scientists and policy experts how and why this circumpolar fire season was so significant and what we can do moving forward.

Joel Clement writes that we’ve seen a collapse of ethics and integrity norms at the Department of the Interior. The question is what can Congress do now to ensure that the federal science enterprise and the agency itself can rebound?

Joel Clement writes that instead of sidelining science, now is the time to invest more heavily in research and scientists, restore public trust in the scientific enterprise that has made America such a great country, and ensure that our political leaders respect the links between science, good policy, and well-being.

Joel Clement writes that the innovation and implementation of adaptation measures must be equal in ambition to the scale of the climate threat to the Arctic.

Joel Clement discusses the negative consequences of a warming Arctic for the entire planet.

Joel Clement details the Trump administration's behavior vis-à-vis the Arctic Council and its consequences for U.S. citizens and the United States' relationship with its allies.
