It's day two of an intense heat wave here in Greater Boston that could last through the weekend. What do we do about it -- in the short term to stay safe, and in the long-term to prepare for more and more of this?

WBUR's Miriam Wasser and meteorologist Danielle Noyes talk about the short- and long-term consequences of the climate crisis, from the heat wave we're in to the need for government action — at the state and federal level. Plus, we bring back a story from WBUR's Martha Bebinger on an effort to keep communities cool with trees, block by block.

This segment aired on July 20, 2022.
