Big Oil Under Fire in Puerto Rico, Recovery and Resilience in Puerto Rico After Hurricane Maria, Hurricanes as a Driver of Evolution, and More!

Municipalities in Puerto Rico sue the biggest fossil fuel companies for damages from category 5 Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The cities and towns allege the fossil fuel companies knew their products would change the climate and intensify storms and colluded to lie about it to the public. And following the devastation of Hurricane Maria many communities in Puerto Rico were isolated for months so they looked to each other for solace and sustenance. Also, Coquí frogs were heavily affected by Hurricane Maria, but within months of the storm, they could once again be heard making their iconic calls across the island. -- Thanks to our sponsor, Four Sigmatic: Don’t miss our special offer to get 30% off your order of premium organic coffee blended with superfood mushrooms.
