The Wednesday, February 7, 2024, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features a Guardian report on the community health and policy aftermath during the year since the toxic plastic chemicals train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio.  We also share news, music, and reflections on litigation against a massive, north Idaho, lakeside logging scheme called Buckskin Saddle, a nationwide request for Environmental Protection Agency and White House intervention in federal approval of the GTN Xpress Northwest gas pipeline expansion, global export of Canadian methane through U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, cancelled Washington D.C. protests and further petition opportunities after a Biden administration pause on LNG facility permits, and local and widespread solidarity actions against Mountain Valley methane pipeline construction in Appalachia.  Broadcast for twelve years on progressive, volunteer, community station KRFP Radio Free Moscow, every Wednesday between 1:30 and 3 pm Pacific time, on-air at 90.3 FM and online, the show describes continent-wide, grassroots, frontline resistance to fossil fuels projects, the root causes of climate change, thanks to generous, anonymous listeners who adopted program host Helen Yost as their KRFP DJ.
