Cronkite News: While Arizonas most recent fire season was relatively tame, one study argues that the worst may be yet to come due to climate change. In a study titled Flammable Planet: Wildfires and the Social Cost of Carbon, the Cost of Carbon Pollution project predicts larger, more frequent, more intense and more costly wildfires around the world by 2050 with the American Southwest being affected in particular.

Mayor of South Miami and biology professor at Florida International University Phil Stoddard talks to Brent about the reality of rising sea levels in South Florida and his recent vote in favour of the motion to secede from the north.
