Brian Shepherd is teaching visitors how to fish on the historic waters of the Beaverkill River in New York’s Catskill Mountains — but, as he says, it's not just about catching fish. It’s about preservation. Climate change is putting the river at risk. Recent research shows that 87% of rivers across the U.S. and Europe are warming, with many, like the Beaverkill, losing vital oxygen. For the $1.2 billion fly fishing industry, warming waters mean fewer fish, fewer tourists and an economic toll on local communities. Efforts are underway to restore the river’s flow and support the local economy, but the future of the Beaverkill hangs in the balance. @DavidSchechter reports.

A major issue facing U.S. rivers is contamination by sewage and other pollution, but a @CBSNews investigation found some minority communities are impacted twice as much. While rebuilding can be cost-prohibitive, @DavidSchechter looks at a natural solution in Philadelphia.

A new study found that mountain glaciers are melting more than twice as rapidly as in the early 2000s. CBS News' @DavidSchechter traveled to Norway to meet with a scientist tracking their decline.

"No president in history has done more to tackle climate change and cut the nation's greenhouse gas emissions," says CBS News' @DavidSchechter of President Biden's climate legacy, as President-elect Donald Trump promises to slash the Biden administration's climate regulations.

If you're traveling this holiday season you may notice some airports branding themselves as sustainable and environmentally friendly. @DavidSchechter looks into the role of airports and airplanes to reduce carbon emissions and improve renewable energy.

In Georgia, solar installer Clay Copeland sees economic opportunity in renewable energy as the Inflation Reduction Act fuels growth, despite Republican Congressman Buddy Carter voting against it. With 70% of Americans concerned about climate change, questions arise about whether elected officials are listening to their constituents.

My fellow journalist, you may be interested in this…The nexis of politics and climate change and how to cover it.

Some other things I learned… The BLT is underrated. The number one ingredient in mayo is soybeans. Who knew?!?!?

It’s the hottest part of summer in Texas and across the South. Why don’t more ambulance services follow the gold standard of treating overheated patients? @CBSNews @MedStarEMSInfo @K_S_Institute @zachmfoundation

The best of climate reporting! Congratulations to all the winners.

.@NOAA: May 2024 was Earth’s warmest May on record. It was also the globe's 12th month in a row of record-high temperatures. Get the latest global May 2024 #climate report: bit.ly/3xqwxca #StateOfClimate

I hope they don’t need that pill back.

.@CBSNews national climate correspondent @DavidSchechter talks about climate change, plus how CBS’s approach to storytelling is unique and strives not to bore or distract viewers through a team and multi-platform effort. thewellnews.com/fourth-estat…

The Mauna Loa Observatory, in Hawaii, which has recorded #carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere for more than 60 years, just reported the highest one month jump in CO2 ever -- due to consumption of #fossilfuels. bit.ly/3WtrYIo @Scripps_Ocean @NOAAClimate #climate

🗓️ Tune in tomorrow at 12pm ET for a master class in local climate reporting from @KaitlynMcGrath, @HeyHelina, @sfkale and @DavidSchechter. RSVP here: bit.ly/4diXXBb

Looking forward to this one.

Thanks for sharing, Andy. It’s a story that I can’t quite shake.

When I got to the top of the mountain with Dr. John Wiens, who’s been studying these lizards for a decade, I didn’t really have words for the finality — this population ceases to exist after 3 million years! There aren’t words. Thank for sharing @jeffgoodell.

As a reporter, I’ve never experienced anything quite like this. A tiny lizard with a big story to tell us about climate change — and our future. #climate

See you there!
