About By Degrees
By Degrees is NHPR’s climate change reporting project. We tell stories of the people grabbling with the challenges of our changing world, and exploring possible solutions. By Degrees explains the science - and the historical context - of our changing climate and why it’s impacting Granite Staters in unequal ways. We’ll answer your questions, hold decision makers accountable, and explore how our state and region are living through this major transition and responding to it.
