Winner of the 2021 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, in VERIFY Road Trip: Climate Truth, senior reporter David Schechter knew that while many people have strong opinions on climate change, some don’t know all the acts. His idea: help viewers understand not only what we know about climate change, but how we know it. In Climate Truth, Schechter and his team took a climate change skeptic across Texas and to Alaska to witness firsthand the evidence of the effects of climate change on our planet.
