Trent Loos welcomes author Teresa Platt, joining from France, for a wide-ranging conversation on climate, agriculture, and rural heritage. They explore rare atmospheric phenomena like sprites, what core samples and tree rings reveal about historical climate patterns, and whether CO2 truly drives global warming. Teresa explains how greenhouse farming and high tunnels expand crop production, including support through the USDA’s EQIP program. She also shares the writing process behind her book “Dark Side of Hunger.” Finally, Trent breaks down New York City’s upcoming October 22 vote to ban Central Park horse carriages and the financial pressures threatening Clinton Park Stables.
