Phoenix is in the middle of a heat wave, with temperatures reaching 110 across the city. David Hondula, Phoenix's director of heat response, joins us. And, drought in the West has increased carbon emissions, Hydropower is a big source of energy and when water is scarce, grid operators often turn to coal and gas plants to make up for lost power. That can have a big impact on the environment and public health even far away. Jake Bittle, staff writer at Grist, joins us. Then, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott has described damage from flooding as "historic and catastrophic," and more rain is on the way. Jake McBride, who lives in Plainfield, joins us to talk about how flooding has impacted the area.
