In this episode, Callie Zamzow hosts Dr. Jen Pierce, a professor at Boise State University and an expert in climate science. They discuss the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires in the region and their impact on air quality, including the hazardous smoke that often blankets the area. They delve into how these environmental changes are linked to broader climate change trends, and what we can do about it.
