Otters and Climate Change
According to two scientists at the University of California at Santa Cruz, a small animal could have a big impact on climate change. Professor Chris Wilmers explains how sea otters could be key to preserving kelp forests, one of the world’s great carbon sinks.

Limiting Population and Consumption
Rich countries must reduce consumption and the world must limit population to avoid catastrophe. That’s the message of Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich. He talks to Steve Curwood on the benefits of having more time.

When The U.S. Paid Off The Entire National Debt
On Jan. 8, 1835, all the big political names in Washington gathered to celebrate what President Andrew Jackson had just accomplished. A senator rose to make the big announcement: "Gentlemen ... the national debt ... is PAID." That was the one time in U.S. history when the country was debt free. It lasted exactly one year. The legend of the national debt and where the debt came from. What happened the one time we paid it all off and why Congress created the debt ceiling in the first place?
