Bonus: The Climate Question

On the eve of the US election, Jordan Dunbar travels to Georgia to see if the result could be shifted by views on climate change - and the state's huge investment in clean tech.

A bonus episode from The Climate Question podcast - Is the climate on the ballot at the US election?

The southern US state of Georgia has received billions of dollars in investment in clean technology, creating tens of thousands of jobs at solar power factories and electric vehicle factories. It is also on the front-line of extreme weather - facing the threat of hurricanes, heatwaves and drought. So will voters in this swing state be considering climate change when they cast their ballots for the US presidential election in November? And how are politicians in Georgia talking about the issue. Jordan Dunbar takes a road trip across the state to find out.

Weekly, The Climate Question looks at why we find it so hard to save our own planet, and how we might change that. For more episodes just search for 'The Climate Question' wherever you got his podcast.
