In this conversation, we talk to Type Investigations reporting fellow Adam Federman about his newest article on permafrost thaw in Alaska, and his reporting on government policy on oil and gas development on public lands. Federman discusses how he started reporting on the government’s role in fossil fuel development, the importance of emphasizing the human impacts of climate change, and the difficulty of communicating complex science. Federman’s story, “The Big Thaw,” was published in partnership with Sierra Magazine.
