Two Degrees
By Tira Palmquist
Emma Phelps, a paleo climatologist, has seen first-hand the symptoms of our changing planet while studying ice core samples in Greenland. However, the recent loss of her husband has left Emma, herself, frozen in grief. When she is asked by an old friend to come to DC and testify in a Senate Committee regarding climate change, the overlap of science, politics, and the deeply personal, create a charged landscape that is all too relevant in our current political and literal climate.
