What are your questions about the future of the Colorado River Basin? PBS News wants to hear from you.

Our PBS News special, "Tipping Point: A River Reimagined," will explore what comes next for the Colorado River Basin as it deals with the consequences of drought, rising temperatures and overuse. A new framework from the Trump administration proposes significant water cuts for certain areas along the basin, including Arizona, California and Nevada. Meanwhile, questions remain around how to best manage this critical water source long term. 

The live-streamed town hall, hosted by PBS News science correspondent Miles O'Brien on Aug. 19 in Grand Junction, Colorado, will feature state water negotiators, tribal representatives, scientists and farmers working to reimagine the Colorado River's next chapter.

We want to hear from you — especially if you're someone who cares about what happens to the river. Are you worried about your water bill, your tap running dry or the price of food at the grocery store as farmers who depend on this water face hard choices about their future? Whatever is on your mind, we want your questions and comments.

Watch the special in the player above and submit your viewer question by replying to this post.

The Testosterone Pipeline: How the Manosphere Fuels Climate Denial

Manosphere figures like Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson aren’t just telling men how to treat their girlfriends or train for MMA fights; they’re also blasting their listeners with climate denial talking points. Which isn’t a coincidence. The fossil fuel industry has known since at least the 1990s that certain types of men are more susceptible to climate disinformation than other segments of the public. We take a look at how climate denial has seeped into the manosphere, how those messages are shaping men’s views of the climate crisis, and how the results are playing out at the ballot box.

Are we finally ready to take climate change seriously?

This article is from 2 weeks ago. The smoke is still here and it will be here for weeks. The consequences are all around us. Its too dangerous to go outside because of heat and smoke. The number of high heat days and fires gets worse every year. Freak weather and smoke is destroying agriculture. Even our ski season may be no more in coming years. We are stealing from ourselves and future generations.
