    When it comes to learning about climate change there’s lots of information out there. And figuring out how to address the problem can be overwhelming, especially as we continue to see headlines in the news concerning the global warming crisis.

    All of that together can feel scary. Fear isn’t the answer though, at least according to atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe. Instead she points to hope as a catalyst for change. Hayhoe joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    From 1942 to 1945, the family of Barbara Yoshida Berthiaume was incarcerated in the Minidoka Japanese internment camp in Eastern Idaho.

    Barbara, who grew up in Kuna, didn’t learn about this dark chapter in her family’s history until she was in her senior year at Kuna High. Since then she’s been researching Japanese internment camps and sharing what she’s learned through talks around the country.

    She lives in Washington now, but she’s coming to the Gem State this week for a series of talks about her family and what they experienced at Minidoka.

    Water issues in the arid west are complex. The laws that govern our region’s rivers and reservoirs are tough to wrap your mind around, but art can provide an entry point – and create an emotional connection that helps people understand what’s at stake.
