Episode 26 “The Climate Music Project“, a San Francisco-based team that brings together scientists, musicians, and graphic artists to create new ways to communicate climate science. The CMP’s innovative multi-media presentations offer hard data with an emotional score and compelling visuals to transform audience members’ personal engagement with climate change.

We feature interviews with co-founders Stephen Crawford and Fran Schulberg, climatologist Garrett Boudinot, and composer Erik Ian Walker, along with excerpts from five of the CMP’s groundbreaking pieces.
