The temperature rises in the studio as Climate Blue experts Sam Basile and Tim Arvan give their hot takes on the recent IPCC report. Basile, a founder and former director of Climate Blue, is now a PhD candidate in Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering at the University of Michigan. Arvan is the current director of Climate Blue and an ambitious student in the Program in the Environment and Philosophy, Politics, and Economics departments. Climate Blue is a student organization at the University of Michigan that sends an observer delegation to the annual United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties (UNFCCC-COP) climate talks.

A significant news item brought to the table by co-host Logan is a surprising environmental commitment made by University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel. Listen as Bella, Logan, Ed and Heena take a closer look!

On Friday, hosts Ed, Bella, and Logan interviewed John Barrie and  Monika Goforth in an effort to “shed some light” on the inner machinations of the Mayan Power and Light Program (MPL). The MPL co-founders discuss the origins and motivations for creating the program, which include a desire to contribute to the green economy and create businesses within small communities in Guatemala. Breaks from the show feature Aurora and Tex’s top picks for solar-themed songs.
