Landslides, Climate Change And Gardening By The Signs, Inside Appalachia

Season 21 Published 3 years ago
Description

After last year’s flooding in Eastern Kentucky, some people had trouble getting insurance reimbursement. But it wasn’t just flood waters that destroyed homes. The rains also brought landslides. 

We visit with scientists in North Carolina, who explain how the language we use can lead to misunderstandings about climate change.

And, in Appalachia, farmers have long planted their gardens by celestial signs. Berea College professor Sarah Hall has a new book about how that knowledge is still in use today. 

You’ll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia.
