Co-hosts Daisy Maldonado and Peter Goodman will discuss issues, including the needed rain in Las Cruces and new criminal indictments in Georgia for Donald Trump.
Special guest Keith Whelpley returns to Think Again for a deeper peek into "Carbon Capture and Sequestration". He talks about projects currently underway, and the goals being set by the State of New Mexico. He acknowledges the many challenges of mitigating the current and future impacts of our increasingly carbonized atmosphere. He suggests that becoming informed is an important first step. Keith touches on how his personal stress and anxiety about climate change led him to 'think again' about what he can do. He points to how personal action can help overcome feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and frustration that many of us may be experiencing. In all this, with a compassionate heart and a keen eye on the science, Keith graciously addresses some of the most important internal and external challenges we face today.
Sarah Lamb is a professor of cultural anthropology at Brandeis University, who focuses on how people construct their socio-cultural world and identity from the interlocking multiple dimensions of age, gender, the body, family, religion, and nation. From the points of view of those she studies, she explores the experiences and the often taken-for-granted assumptions of people in West Bengal, India and also among Indian immigrants as well as older white Americans in the San Francisco, Boston, and Bible Belt areas of the United States. Sarah is the author of several books and is the recipient of several major grants and awards, including a 2019 to 2023 Andrew Carnegie Fellowship. Her most recent book — Being Single in India: Stories of Gender, Exclusion, and Possibility — is the subject of today’s interview.

Keith Whelpley brings thoughtful considerations of some of the measures being taken to offset climate change broadly, and atmospheric, CO2 driven, global warming specifically. The conversation explores Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS), and the roles of the individual, the climate advocacy community, the government, the fossil fuel corporations, and our economic system. He points to the promise of the technology, the potential risks that we know of, and what it's going to take to bring all the parties together for a solution. The conversation touches on how our past ways of thinking about these issues has led to our current circumstances, and how we need to change our thinking if we want to solve these problems.
