From our collaborating partner Living on Earth, public radio’s environmental news magazine, an interview by Jenni Doering with author Craig Childs.
A third runway would fly in the face of reason. If we are to prioritise human life over short-term ‘growth’, we need to use planes less, not more
If a third runway is built at Heathrow, what will be the impact on the wealth of the nation? It will cost us somewhere between £23.4bn and £62.5bn. These are not my figures; they weren’t calculated by environmental groups, but by the Department for Transport.
For decades, government ministers have told us that airport expansion is essential for “growth”. As chancellor, Rachel Reeves claimed that a third runway at Heathrow would add 0.43% to GDP, figures we later discovered came from a report commissioned by the airport. The transport department’s own analysis concluded that the real addition to GDP would be between 0.03% and 0.05%: eight to 14 times less. Against this, it weighed the social and environmental costs of the project, to reveal a massive net loss. It found that a third runway would cause major harm to the health and wellbeing of up to 3 million local people.

GBH News today announced the upcoming premiere of Mitt & Ted, a healthcare story, the fourth season of the Peabody Award-winning podcast The Big Dig. The eight-part limited series explores the complex history of American healthcare through the unlikely partnership and ultimate rift between conservative Governor Mitt Romney and liberal Senator Ted Kennedy.
The series available now is hosted by senior producer Ian Coss, produced by GBH News and brought to listeners in partnership with PRX:
The Big Dig Season 4: Mitt & Ted, a healthcare story
Healthcare remains the problem American politics cannot solve, a flashpoint for fierce town hall debates, national government shutdowns, and bitter ideological battles. Mitt & Ted, a healthcare story uncovers how two fierce rivals from opposite ends of the political spectrum came together in Massachusetts to pass “Romneycare,” the landmark state law that became the blueprint for the Affordable Care Act, and why their political coalition eventually tore apart.
“I became obsessed with this story after seeing a picture of the signing ceremony for ‘Romneycare’ because it was this bizarre collection of characters,” said Coss. “I mean, there were people from the far-right Heritage Foundation side by side with a bunch of liberal Democrats, all laughing and smiling. I wanted to know how that coalition happened, on a healthcare bill of all things. Was it just a fluke, a mirage, or is it something that we could see again? ”
Mitt & Ted, a healthcare story will be available for free on-demand across all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, and NPR One, as well as on the GBH News website and on the GBH News YouTube channel.
“This team excels at taking dense, defining policy debates and transforming them into gripping, character-driven narratives,” said Dan Lothian, Editor-in-Chief and General Manager of Local News for GBH, NEPM, and CAI. “Following critically acclaimed seasons like “The Big Dig,” “Scratch & Win,” and “Catching The Codfather,” “Mitt & Ted, a healthcare story” continues GBH News’ commitment to journalism that connects local Massachusetts political history directly to the national conversations shaping America today.”
“The story of Mitt Romney and Ted Kennedy is a fascinating political saga about power, pragmatism, and the elusive quest for universal healthcare,” said Devin Maverick Robins, Managing Director of Podcasts at GBH. “Ian and the production team have captured the human drama and ideological tension behind a legislative milestone whose ripple effects are still felt in every corner of Washington today.”
The rest of the podcast team includes Azita Ghahramani as editorial supervisor; Isabel Hibbard as producer; and Lacy Roberts as story editor. “Mitt & Ted, a healthcare story” is a production of GBH News and Distributed to listeners everywhere with PRX, the Pulitzer-winning public radio and podcast distributor.

Democratic-led coalition says gutting key protections will set US back decades and worsen climate crisis
States and cities sued the Trump administration on Thursday for repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas.
Twenty-one states, led by New York, are challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s power plant rule. The Democratic-led coalition also includes Pennsylvania’s governor, the District of Columbia, New York City, Chicago and the city and county of Denver. They argue that “gutting one of the country’s most significant climate protections” will set the nation back decades and worsen the climate crisis.

The biggest news during last week’s Climate Week NYC came not from the US but from Germany, where the government of the world’s third-largest economy committed to phasing out fossil fuels by 2045. It was the first time Germany has explicitly made such a promise, Fiona Harvey noted in The Guardian. Germany’s previous pledges, Harvey added, “were only for ‘carbon neutrality,’” an important distinction. Carbon neutrality allows continued fossil fuel use if the emissions are offset—for example, by additional clean energy or tree planting. But only a complete phaseout of fossil fuels can halt global temperature rise.
Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, the world’s fourth largest economy, hailed his state’s decarbonization efforts, saying in an interview with Covering Climate Now that California has run on 100% clean electricity nine out of every 10 days so far in 2026. And as the costs of solar, wind, and batteries continue to fall, while the Iran war makes gasoline and diesel more expensive, “the markets are moving in our direction,” said Newsom, who’s widely expected to run for president in 2028. “Globally, people are realizing [that clean energy] is the better option.”
An overwhelming majority of people around the world want their governments to take stronger climate action, the Associated Press noted in an article about the global oat milk company Oatly endorsing CCNow’s 89 Percent Project. “Companies should be taking much more responsibility, not only in reducing their own environmental footprint, but really working out how they can use their platform to drive a positive future,” Caroline Reid, senior sustainability director at Oatly, told the AP.
Mirroring this public sentiment, Germany and California are key members of a “coalition of the willing” that emerged from last year’s COP30 UN climate summit after petrostates vetoed calls from 80-plus countries to develop a global “roadmap” to phase out fossil fuels. Collectively, this coalition amounts to the biggest economic superpower on Earth. In April, many of its members met in Santa Marta, Colombia, to begin discussing, in UN Secretary-General António Guterres’s words, how “to sequence the decline of fossil fuel investment with the rapid scale-up of clean energy.”
Journalists have a critical role to play as governments work to phase out fossil fuels. That goal can only be achieved quickly — and speed is of the essence, scientists emphasize — if countries implement genuine climate solutions and shun false ones. News coverage that makes clear how well a given policy measures up to what’s needed, as Harvey did with her distinction between “carbon neutrality” and a fossil fuel phase-out, can keep the public informed and hold policymakers to account.
France and The Netherlands are two more big economies that have released roadmaps to phase out fossil fuel use. If enough other countries present credible plans for doing so, it “would send an unmistakable message that the age of oil, gas and coal is ending, and the smart money is shifting,” Mohamed Adow, director of the nonprofit Power Shift Africa, said in an interview with The Guardian.
As the costs of clean energy fall, humanity is in a “final battle” against the “evil forces” trying to keep the world dependent on fossil fuels, said Johan Rockstrom, the director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impacts Research in Germany, at a Climate Week event. Scientists at Rockstrom’s institute have studied which policies significantly reduce emissions, and which don’t. A paper published in Science evaluated “1,500 climate policies implemented … across 41 countries” and concluded that only 63 of them delivered significant reductions. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution, but getting fossil fuel prices right — by slashing subsidies and otherwise challenging what US senator Sheldon Whitehouse calls Big Oil’s “pollute for free business model” — is essential. Complementary research the Drawdown Institute released during Climate Week highlighted a number of supposed solutions that are anything but. The institute’s list of “weak ideas and greenwashing tricks” includes carbon capture and storage, direct air capture of carbon dioxide, blue hydrogen, and corn ethanol.
A frequent topic of conversation at Climate Week was the US midterm elections, which could curb President Donald Trump’s acceleration of climate breakdown if Republicans lose control in Congress, though most Democrats (with important exceptions like Newsom and Whitehouse) are saying little about climate change on the campaign trail. Considering that 80 to 89% of the world’s people, and 74% of Americans, want stronger climate action, why do so many politicians practice “climate hushing”? And why do so many voters end up backing candidates who are indifferent at best to tackling climate change?
“We need to remember,” Rockstrom said, “that citizens have many other problems besides climate change, especially the cost of living. So, we need to make it easy for them to choose clean energy options, and that requires good policy.” It also requires, Newsom said, talking plainly about both the dangers and the solutions to the climate crisis. Leaders need to “connect the dots” between the heat, drought and other afflictions driven by climate change and “kitchen table” issues like the price of beef, coffee, and home insurance. “The cost of inaction,” Newsom added, “is incalculable.”

Some rivers are receiving more rain than before but have lower water flow, according to a study
More rain and snow equals more water in rivers, right? Not necessarily. A new study shows that, despite receiving more rainfall than they used to, river water levels are falling because of changes in climate.
Global heating is intensifying the hydrological cycle, making wet regions wetter and dry regions drier, but how is this affecting river flow? Researchers from the Pennsylvania State University, in the US, have analysed precipitation and river flow records in more than 10,000 rivers between 1951 and 2020. In nearly one-third of rivers, they found that flow trends did not match with the changes observed in rainfall and snow.

Swiss glaciers shrank by 5.5% in the first eight months of 2026, according to an annual monitoring report, after a summer of scorching heatwaves that followed a winter with little snow. The reduction in ice volume falls just shy of the record set in 2022 and brings the total loss of glacier ice since 2021 to 19.4%.
