BBC World Service - The Compass, Local Warming: California

Sasha Khokha asks how her fellow Californians are responding to climate change

In recent years California has been ravaged by drought and wildfire. Sasha Khokha takes a trip around her home state to see what climate change means to people.

During the last four years California has been ravaged by drought and wildfire that has left people without homes and farmers without crops. Unlike a lot of American states most Californians acknowledge climate change is contributing to serious environmental problems and Governor Jerry Brown is leading the way in developing strategies to try and combat it. In the final programme in the Local Warming series presenter Sasha Khokha takes a trip around her home state of California to see what climate change means to people and how far they are willing to go to address it.
