Listen "Impacts of Climate Change on the Midwest, Will Duff"

Episode Synopsis

The conclusion that I came to through my research was that although there are many barriers to
climate change activism in the Midwest (perhaps more than other regions), there are still many people who
believe in climate change and want to see measures taken to mitigate it. The most interesting part of my
research was definitely looking through countless facebook post comments. I saw some very interesting
perspectives. Many of which have no scientific backing.
The music used in the podcast was all created by me within the GarageBand application. I used Audacity to edit
