Green Media: Public Media, from VPR and other stations, about Global Warming and other Green topics
You listen to VPR because you know you'll hear relevant, in-depth, balanced reporting about issues that matter. Public radio's coverage of climate change and the environment embodies this trademark quality. From a story on "Climate Change—The Musical" to NPR's year-long globe-trotting series Climate Connections, you'll find a wide array of stories on this page about the environment, sustainability, and green living.
VPR Regional News: The Changing Climate
VPR recently took an in-depth look at the changing climate and the forecast for our region. Some want Vermont to become a national leader in addressing climate changes. Others focus on the individual and how each person can make a difference in everyday life.
In this special series we hear from Dr. Alan Betts on the science of climate change and the problems created by global warming. Author Bill McKibben talks about the impact of global warming on our woodlands, and what Vermont needs to do to become a leader in environmental solutions. Commissioner of Environmental Conservation, Jeffrey Wennberg, reviews the efforts Vermont has made thus far to counter global warming. Author Peter Barnes gives an industry perspective on how proposals to trade pollution permits will affect future emissions. Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy, Dan Reicher, discusses the transformation of the energy industry and the future of 'renewables'.
We also hear from everyday people who are changing their lives to lessen the impact of fossil fuels. And we look at ways people are raising awareness through art. Check out the entire series of articles, interviews, and commentaries: The Changing Climate.

NOVA: What's up with the environment?
The overwhelming majority of scientists agree: earth's temperature has risen during the past century. But is it due to man's use of fossil fuel energy? And if so, how can we prevent the catastrophic results that some scientists predict if global warming continues? NOVA and FRONTLINE join forces to investigate the science and politics of one of the most controversial issues of the 21st century: the truth about global warming.
