A Light In The Dark: Episode 28: Earth + Animals - Humans =

April 16, 2020 • Hope and humanity in the time of COVID-19

Today on the show we explore the impacts of humans on the earth and how that's been reduced during the COVID-19 outbreak. We answer some *really* important questions like: Are birds singing louder now than they were before? Why do crows dive-bomb humans? How can you learn to be an urban birder during this time/space intermission? What's the difference between pollution and greenhouse gases? How much is the earth really getting a "breath" right now and what more can be done? To answer these and other questions, I welcome Seattle Audubon's Urban Conservation Manager, Josh Morris, and Becky Alexander, Professor of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and Director of the Program on Climate Change at the University of Washington. It's time to go to school and trust me, you're going to learn something on today's episode of A Light in the Dark.
