Megan Hall: Welcome to Possibly, where we take on huge problems like the future of our planet and break them down into small questions with unexpected answers. I’m Megan Hall. Here at Possibly, we usually talk about how dams create clean, renewable electricity, but today we’re reporting on why, sometimes, it makes sense to take them down. To do that, we’re traveling near the border between Oregon and California, to the Klamath River.

Megan Hall: Welcome to Possibly, where we take on huge problems like the future of our planet and break them down into small questions with unexpected answers. I’m Megan Hall. We hear a lot about climate migration—the idea that people will have to move as climate change makes some places unlivable. But is this something we’re still waiting for, or is it already happening? Our reporters, Iman Khanbhai and Hamid Torabzadeh, looked into it.

If you take a look at your weather app and scroll down, you’ll usually see a number for the day’s air quality. But what does that number mean? And where does it come from? We had Hamid Torabzadeh and Iman Khanbhai from our Possibly Team look into this question.

When you throw something in the trash you probably imagine it gets picked up by a garbage truck and taken to a landfill–end of story. But that’s just the beginning. Today, we’re talking about the gas that comes off of landfills and whether we should be using it as a source of energy.

Megan Hall: Welcome to Possibly, where we take on huge problems like the future of our planet and break them down into small questions with unexpected answers. I’m Megan Hall. Here in Rhode Island, our biggest landfill is expected to fill up by 2043. And there are about 100 inactive landfills across the state. Which made us wonder, what happens when these places close? We had Possibly reporters Iman Khanbhai and Charlie Adams look into this question.

Megan Hall: Welcome to Possibly, where we take on huge problems like the future of our planet and break them down into small questions with unexpected answers. I’m Megan Hall. A while ago, we asked if anyone had big, crazy ideas about how to slow down climate change. And a few of you wrote in with the same question – can we send an umbrella into space to block the sun and cool the planet? Is that something we could really do? I’m here with Possibly reporters Will Malloy and Iman Khanbhai to find out.

Megan Hall: Welcome to Possibly, where we take on huge problems like the future of our planet and break them down into small questions with unexpected answers. I’m Megan Hall. So-called “Natural gas”- the stuff a lot of us use to heat our homes and run our stoves- is basically methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. In the short term, methane is 80 times more potent than CO2 when it comes to warming the planet. So, states are looking for ways to use less of this fossil fuel.

Megan Hall: Welcome to Possibly, where we take on huge problems like the future of our planet and break them down into small questions with unexpected answers. I’m Megan Hall. This episode, we're answering a question from a member of our Possibly Team- Iman Khanbhai. Megan Hall: Iman, do you want to explain? Iman Khanbhai: Sure! The other day I was heading to the mall to buy some jeans and I wondered- what would create more emissions- taking an electric scooter or getting an uber?
