Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Elizabeth Kolbert has watched an invasive species of Asian carp jump 10 feet into the air when they’re shocked. She’s gone to the Mojave Desert to see how researchers are trying to save tiny little pupfish. And she’s traveled to the Great Barrier Reef to see coral that’s turned as white as a ghost because of rising water temperatures. Kolbert talks to me about the far-out environmental fixes she’ written about in her latest book Under a White Sky and what’s in store for our children on Planet Earth.
