The Wednesday, August 7, 2024, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features a conversation with Dr. Stephanie Roe, the World Wildlife Fund global climate and energy lead scientist explaining climate change-driven heat waves, key indicators of their impacts, and possible actions to reduce and adapt to extreme heat.  We also share news, music, and reflections on recent north Idaho oil train traffic, an Idaho agency railway safety award for reduced train and vehicle collisions, started Washington compressor station construction and Northwest state and environmental group arguments against the GTN Xpress methane pipeline expansion, and an appeals court challenge and victory over similarly flawed federal approval of a New Jersey gas infrastructure proposal.  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.
