Interview on Fox 31
Fox 31's Dave Young interviewed me about the relationship between global warming and human health on Tuesday, in anticipation of a paper being released on the topic the next day called "Killer Summer Heat." (The paper was not written by me, nor had I read it before the interview because it wasn't out yet.) This happened to be the day Denver broke its daily high temperature record by a few degrees. The new record was 93 degrees compared to the old record of 90 set in 1939. My car was in the shop and I was working from home, so they visited me in my back yard for the interview! Luckily, this is a topic we cover in MTR 1600: Global Climate Change, so I was very familiar with the concepts. Take my course this fall if you'd like to learn more! I haven't actually watched the interview due to my embarrassment over watching myself on film, but I hope it turned out well.
