I'm Brian Miller on WNYC and we end today with our climate story of the week which we're

doing every Tuesday all this year on the show. Today it's a climate call in on the question

how is your work, your job being affected by climate change or how is your job affecting

it? 212-433-WNYC-212-433-9692. Again how is your work, your job being affected by climate change

or how is your job affecting the climate for better or for worse? 212-433-WNYC tell us a story.

212-433-9692 or text it. We can take your calls on several tracks with this for example

do you have a job in a green industry like installing solar panels, manufacturing wind turbines,

selling electric vehicles, you know the group climate power estimated the inflation reduction

act had created 170,000 new jobs in its first year which doesn't even count the jobs already

in existence and with estimates of over a million jobs in those fields in the decades. So are you

working in a green new job of any kind? Call us, tell us about it. 212-433-WNYC tell about

your job making the world safer from climate change or if you work in a very climate polluting

industry you can call and tell us how you or your employer deal with that fact as extreme weather

events and their impact on people become more severe. 212-433-9692 and of course

the flip side of opportunity as green jobs and green products emerge could be crisis.

We're hearing that electric vehicles will disrupt businesses not only of car manufacturers

we've talked about a lot about that a lot on the show with respect to the UAW strike recently

but those that support gas fueled cars and trucks as well. So if you're in any of those lines

of work are you already seeing it? Are you having to learn as an automatic mechanic how to service

and install heat pumps instead of oil or I should say not as an automatic mechanic in that case

but an engineer who works on buildings how to service and install heat pumps instead of oil or

gas burning furnaces or any example give us a call 212-433-WNYC tell us a story of how climate change
