A city government, a looming disaster, and a complicated choice
We often tell you that YOUR local government is the one you have to pay really close attention to. So today we’re bringing you an episode from our colleagues over at Outside/In that proves exactly this. It’s about one city - Juneau, Alaska - and what happens when climate change concerns meet municipal resources – or lack thereof. What does a city do when the bottom line doesn’t jibe with reality and federal funds are out of reach? Especially when a predictable natural disaster is looming on the horizon?
Outside/In host Nate Hegyi visits Juneau to see one example of why some Americans - and their civil leaders - are rejecting tough truths about climate change when it comes knocking at their own back door.
