- Description
- In his 30+ years of experience as a science reporter, Miles claims that scientists’ reaction to the “sea curtain solution” to the melting Thwaites (or Doomsday) Glacier is the most vehement he has ever seen. Elise asks why this is the case, and Miles explains how scientists believe that putting effort into the “sea curtain solution” would divert resources away from the work of mitigating climate change. Miles points out that the unfortunate truth is it may be too late for mitigation alone and these grand ideas are worth exploring.
We see a clip from the television show detailing the importance of Thwaites and what its melting would mean to the world: how a 10 foot rise in sea levels would affect our lives.
Miles spent two months on this Antarctic journey in one of the most extreme cases of “remote work” there has ever been. He talks about the resources that made it possible for him to continue reporting for PBS NewsHour from the Southern Ocean.<...

- In this episode, we learn that sometimes nature already has the answers. Problem-solvers can also come in the form of furry little construction workers: beavers. Miles talks about the role beavers fill in the American West and what happens when the so-called “beaver haters” eradicate them. We hear a preview discussion of the strain on the Colorado River in regards to beavers fighting drought. We’ll dive even deeper into the topic of the Colorado River later in this series.
Throughout this discussion, Miles tells us even more about the assembly of unique characters in the television episode who are coming up with ways to collaborate with beavers and solve a multitude of problems including wildfires, drought, overgrazing, and the deterioration of vital waterways. The beaver expert Emily Fairfax turned to this field because she was inspired by a PBS Nature program, and that, as Miles says, “is the power of PBS”.

- Description
- Journey to the Chiricahua Mountains, often called the “Wonderland of Rocks,” to explore the Echo Canyon Grottos and Natural Bridge trails. Towering hoodoos, narrow passages and delicate stone structures create a landscape shaped by volcanic activity and millions of years of erosion, offering hikers a truly surreal experience.
Learn how easily these geological features can be damaged and why staying on trails, limiting contact and respecting closures are critical to their preservation. As geology, history and environmental conservation blend, we highlight the ongoing effort to protect the Chiricahuas’ unique formations while still allowing people to explore and connect with these extraordinary landscapes.
