Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bigger storms, drier conditions
Q: So Dr. Mankin, what is the one key takeaway Vermont and New England should know about your findings?
The main takeaway is that warming tends to concentrate rainfall into fewer, more extreme events, which means water resources, aquifers, and infrastructure must be adapted to handle intense bursts and longer dry spells rather than simply expecting more rain overall.
Celebrating poetry with Vermont's Poet Laureate
Q: What is the first poem you have brought for us?
Bianca Stone introduces Dear Reader by James Tate and explains how the poem aims to pry open the reader's understanding, using imagery and humor to explore the tension between accessibility and depth in poetry.
Vermont's landmark case
Q: What do Vermont and environmental groups say in defense of the law, and what are the counterarguments from the federal government and industry?
Giles notes that Vermont and NOFA/NRDC frame the law as a mechanism to fund cleanup rather than regulate emissions, while federal officials argue about jurisdiction and potential overreach beyond state borders, with the possibility of the case heading to the Supreme Court.
Vermont's landmark case
Q: Will you refresh us on what the Climate Superfund Law does?
Abigail Giles explains that the law aims to make polluters pay by funding cleanup costs and that Vermont uses science to identify who should bear the costs, rather than imposing broad regulatory controls.
A conversation with Vermont National Guard's new leader
Q: How does the chain of command work when the federal government deploys the Vermont National Guard?
Deployments under federal authority involve Title 32 procedures where the governor, as commander in chief, makes decisions in coordination with National Guard Bureau leadership, ensuring support for service members and adherence to law.
