Up Next - A Podcast Up FrontShort Wave: Fueled By Climate Change, Hurricanes Are Causing Industrial Accidents. Who's Liable? (Released: Sept 29 2020)
NPR’s Short Wave is a science podcast for everyone. With new
discoveries, everyday mysteries, and the science behind the headlines —
all in about 10 minutes, every weekday. In this episode, Short Wave
touches on the impact of climate change and corporate America. Fueled
by changing weather patterns, hurricanes are becoming stronger and
more frequent. Those storms have repeatedly led to spills and fires at
chemical manufacturing plants along the Gulf Coast. But can companies
— and the people who work for them — be held responsible or even sent
to prison for failing to adequately prepare for climate change? NPR's
Rebecca Hersher reported on that question, which is at the center of a
recent lawsuit.
