Riders on the Storm: A Glass Half Full

Season 1 Episode 101 | 26m 46s

Twenty years after 'An Inconvenient Truth' ignited hopes of quick and decisive action to corral climate change, the national environmental debate is widely considered to have devolved into a partisan stalemate framed by apocalyptic despair. This episode reframes that picture as activists reveal an unacknowledged backstory that highlights local progress and points towards a more resilient future.

Aired: 06/25/26 | Expires: 06/29/29
Distributed nationally by American Public Television
