Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
On the shore of the Tidal Basin in summer 2018.
Depending on where you live in the city, you might feel anywhere from 10-20 degrees hotter than someone in a cooler, shadier part of town.
This comes from a new study on the urban heat island effect, or a city’s ability — through creation of green spaces and infrastructure — to alter its own weather.
We hear from the climate scientist who’s leading the heat mapping studies across Richmond, Washington and Baltimore, and learn what our city can do to fight climate change and stay cool.
