The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 3, 2023

Over two and a half years after New York passed an ambitious climate law in 2019, the New York State Climate Action Council has approved a "cap and invest" style plan to tackle emissions. The plan consists of recommendations for Governor Hochul to implement. Marc Weiss, member of the NGO NYRenews and formerly the creator and executive producer of the PBS series POV, and Peter Iwanowicz, a member of both the NYR steering committee and the Climate Action Council, explain the recommendations and potential obstacles to implementation.
