8:55 pm - NRDC PSA: Extreme Heat and Health +
This summer, temperatures across the country have been scorching. Higher temperatures mean that more people are suffering from heat-related illnesses. NRDC teamed up with Clean Air Carolina to bring this issue to light: Kathie Cox, a public health educator in Laurinburg, and Candace Cahoon, a pediatric asthma therapist in Ahoskie, discuss some of the serious health impacts of extreme heat in their home state of North Carolina. It’s important to remember that extreme heat-related deaths and illnesses are preventable—if we take the threat of heat seriously. And we need to help the most vulnerable among us to cope with the present-day effects of climate change.

The ocean absorbs one-quarter of the carbon dioxide we produce by burning fossil fuels and stores 90 percent of the heat on our warming planet. But overfishing and pollution have brought the ocean to the breaking point. Its systems are starting to fail. Narrated by Sigourney Weaver, this short film about the interplay of climate change and the ocean makes the case that we need to help the ocean heal so that it can help us adapt to the mounting pressures of climate change.
Our Ocean Planet was produced by NRDC, Bloomfish Pictures, and Rock, Paper, Scissors. It premiered at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco on September 14, 2018.
