Climate change is a topic we hear every day, in all areas of our lives. Public controversy swirls around the topic, however, the scientific consensus on climate change is solid. In a recent Pew Research Center survey, 87% of scientists indicated they believe the earth is getting warmer because of human activity. Is it time to change the way we garden? How?

Host Teresa Wilke speaks with Doug Kluck, Regional Climate Services Director of the Central Region at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). He will tell us the science of our climate. NOAA has the tools to provide data, tools, and information to help people understand and prepare for climate variability and change. The climate changes that people in the Kansas City region are now experiencing have not been seen in previous lifetimes, according to Doug Kluck.

When we accept that there is climate change, how does that change how we productively grow fruits, vegetables and flowers? For that, we will hear from Dennis Patton, Horticulture Agent for Johnson County KS Extension Office. Dennis knows about ornamentals, turf and the Extension Master Gardeners program. He is a writer whose articles assist you with finding the information you need to make wise choices in the lawn or garden.
We at EcoRadioKC are glad to encourage awareness of our world. Gardening practices alone won’t solve global warming, but gardeners can point the way to climate-friendly farm policies that will have a bigger impact. We can create a sustainable present for a sustainable future! This will be a great radio hour!
