My guest today is author and journalist, Paul Koberstein. I spoke with Paul in 2024 about a book he co-authored called “Canopy of Titans: The Life and Times of the Great North American Temperate Rainforest”.
I recently read a great new article of his entitled “Greenwashing in the Evergreen State”, exploring how an industry funded quasi-academic entity got the Democratically controlled Washington State Legislature to endorse industrial logging as beneficial for the climate.
I’m a sucker for exposing industry greenwashing, so I’m delighted to have Paul back on the show to talk about his deep dive into the shady world of the Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials, or CORRIM, as we will be referring to them throughout the show.
Are interested in radio and/or podcasting?? I am looking for volunteers to help with produce the show! That means help hosting, researching, editing, whatever! No experience necessary.
To learn more, or if you have feedback, guest ideas, etc, you can email coastrangeradio@gmail.com.
