Experts gather in Cincinnati to discuss the changing climate and what we can do about it

This past summer was Earth's hottest since 1880, when global record-keeping began, according to scientists at NASA.

But those rising temperatures don't affect all communities the same way.

Experts on climate science and the impact of climate change are gathering in Cincinnati Dec. 1 to discuss environmental justice, air quality and activism.

On Cincinnati Edition, we talk about those themes with the event's keynote speaker and lead organizer, and hear what they think we all should be doing to protect the planet.
