What to look for on Smart Talk, Wednesday, May 8, 2019:
Activists and ordinary citizens are confronting climate change everyday.
On Smart Talk, we’ll hear from people taking on this massive, existential issue. Here in central Pennsylvania there is a legal scholar who published a new book on potential climate solutions.
John Dernbach of Widener University Commonwealth Law School has co-edited a book called “Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization in the United States.” He calls it a ‘playbook’ for how to deal with climate change and it includes over 1,000 things that can be done on a local, regional, and national level.

Also joining the discussion, Olivia Shumaker is a 16-year-old activist from Lancaster County, who is organizing school strikes to demand climate action.

Finally, appearing on Smart Talk is Carolyn Beeler, a reporter with PRI’s “The World.” Beeler recently traveled to Antarctica, spending two months aboard a research vessel covering scientists studying a massive glacier that’s at risk of collapsing.
