Former US Senator Russ Feingold: Climate Change/Biodiversity and the Campaign for Nature (and some politics too)

In episode 119 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold. Doug and Senator Feingold discuss his work on the Campaign for Nature; why protecting biodiversity is as important, or more so, than climate change; the science partners involved; what international efforts are needed for biodiversity protection; the role of his new org, the American Constitution Society and we also dabble a bit in domestic politics!

Topics covered:

  • What is the Campaign for Nature.

  • Protecting 30% of the Earth for Nature

  • Argues threat to biodiversity is a bigger issue than threat of climate change.

  • Update on Sen. Feingold’s work and the impact of Covid-19.

  • Discussed his new organization, The American Constitution Society.

  • International and domestic implications of an international biodiversity treaty.

  • Highlighting science partners such as Dr. Thomas Lovejoy.

  • Should we expand the supreme court (yes, we went there).
