Manage episode 464074526 series 3476283
Emissions of greenhouse gases in Minnesota increased between 2020 and 2022, according to a new report from the state out today. It's the latest of the updates the state releases every two years on its progress toward a goal of bringing greenhouse gas emissions down to 0 by 2050.
These gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, are released by burning fossil fuels and other human activities. They're also driving climate change, which scientists say is already contributing to things like more frequent severe weather and warmer winters. Minnesota Department of Commerce Commissioner Grace Arnold joined the program to talk about the new report.
