THE ROCKY FILES: THE POWER OF PEOPLE
Rocky Kistner
There is nothing more impactful than stories about people on the front lines of climate change and environmental assaults. The fishermen, the farmers, the residents battling refinery pollution and bureaucracies. From the boreal forests of northern Alberta to the polluted refineries of the Gulf of Mexico, I have seen their story-telling power resonate with people all over the world.

Scientists struggle to explain ‘really weird’ spike in world temperatures
Extreme temperatures have shattered the grimmest expectations of a warming world and tested climate models.
