Rejecting Denialism in the Gulf, Part V: Key West with Mimi Rogers | Episode 43

  • Summary

  • Ironically, Brent drove through a storm and rising floodwaters to visit with marine biologist, fisher, and activist Mimi Rogers at her stilt-home in Key West. We talked climate and resilience and how even though most Conches recognize the climate challenges ahead, it can be hard to get entrenched businesses to care. Which is concerning when the average height of Key West is 8' above sea level, with much of the infrastructure much lower than that.

    About the series: There are some places where discussions of climate change, sea level rise, and extreme weather events are very uncomfortable. Brent traveled to Houston, New Orleans, and Key West to talk to scientists and activists who are invested in and propelling these essential discussions and initiatives. What he discovered was enormous and gracious creativity when it comes to having conversations with climate deniers and those resistant to the idea of human-caused climate change, many of whom work in government and hold positions of influence.
