For this special 2-part Earth Day series, Kevin and Ryan interviewed Dr. Gordon Bonan, a Colorado-based bonsai artist and climate scientist. We asked Gordon in this wide-ranging interview to distill his scientific findings from climate modeling, how it may impact us as humans, bonsai artists, and our trees, and how he approaches sharing information on the subject with the public. In part 2 coming next week, we also have some listener questions he addresses.


The video version is available ⁠here⁠.

Show notes, relevant pictures, and links are available ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠. See you in the next episode!
