Summary

Rich countries, like the United States, are the biggest emitters of gases that drive climate change. Should they pay developing countries for climate damage? Kai and guest host Andy Uhler recap the COP27 summit and the debate over climate reparations. Plus, NASA thought it had collected all the artifacts from the 1986 space shuttle Challenger disaster, until now. And, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!

Here’s everything we talked about today:

- “About Biden’s climate pit stop” from Politico

- “Here’s What Happened on Tuesday at the COP27 Climate Summit” from The New York Times

- “Divers Discover Piece of Space Shuttle Challenger Off Florida Coast” from The New York Times

- “It’s not a fluke, it’s a rot: Why the political media blew the 2022 election” from Press Watch

- “Why high interest rates are partly responsible for the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot” from Marketplace

- “Coming soon to a theater near you: company Zoom meetings” from Marketplace
