On our new Coping with Climate Change page, you’ll be able to find video reports, blog posts, slide shows and interactive features exploring many angles on the subject. We start this week with a look at the tale of two drought-stricken Texas towns. Correspondent Hari Sreenivasan examines the struggle in many Texas communities that face record high temperatures, depleted groundwater, vanishing lakes and wildfires. And he also details how Texas residents are tapping into a wellspring of alternative approaches to adapt. For this reporting, we collaborated with StateImpact Texas, a project of KUT Austin, KUHF Houston and NPR. The NewsHour is working closely with public media around the country to generate these stories and to stimulate a lively exchange about the issues. You can join the conversation by sharing your insights here. Hari and Margaret Warner discussed the new series on Wednesday’s NewsHour broadcast: We're not going anywhere. Stand up for truly independent, trusted news that you can count on! Donate now By — Jenny Marder Jenny Marder Jenny Marder is a senior science writer for NASA and a freelance journalist.
