Episode Details

Devastating flooding in Nepal is another stark reminder of the growing dangers posed by extreme weather and a changing global climate.

Presidential historian Allan Lichtman examines the disaster in Nepal and places it within the larger story of climate change, extreme weather, flooding, and environmental policy. What can disasters like this tell us about the risks facing communities around the world? And are governments doing enough to confront a crisis whose consequences are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore?

As extreme rainfall, flooding, heat, drought, and other climate-related disasters threaten communities across the globe, the devastation in Nepal raises an urgent question: is the world prepared for what's coming?
