This hour, we look at the impact of climate change on New England's native plant and animal species. We talk with scientists and science journalists, and we hear from you. Have you noticed anything different about the flora and fauna in your backyard? And what can historical records -- like the observations of naturalist Henry David Thoreau -- teach us about our changing environment?
GUESTS:
- Richard Primack - Professor of Biology at Boston University and author of Walden Warming: Climate Change Comes to Thoreau’s Woods
- Carl Zimmer - Science writer and columnist for The New York Times
- Abigail Weinberg - Director of Conservation Research at the Open Space Institute
