Brian Shepherd is teaching visitors how to fish on the historic waters of the Beaverkill River in New York’s Catskill Mountains — but, as he says, it's not just about catching fish. It’s about preservation. Climate change is putting the river at risk. Recent research shows that 87% of rivers across the U.S. and Europe are warming, with many, like the Beaverkill, losing vital oxygen. For the $1.2 billion fly fishing industry, warming waters mean fewer fish, fewer tourists and an economic toll on local communities. Efforts are underway to restore the river’s flow and support the local economy, but the future of the Beaverkill hangs in the balance. @DavidSchechter reports.

A major issue facing U.S. rivers is contamination by sewage and other pollution, but a @CBSNews investigation found some minority communities are impacted twice as much. While rebuilding can be cost-prohibitive, @DavidSchechter looks at a natural solution in Philadelphia.

A new study found that mountain glaciers are melting more than twice as rapidly as in the early 2000s. CBS News' @DavidSchechter traveled to Norway to meet with a scientist tracking their decline.

"No president in history has done more to tackle climate change and cut the nation's greenhouse gas emissions," says CBS News' @DavidSchechter of President Biden's climate legacy, as President-elect Donald Trump promises to slash the Biden administration's climate regulations.

❄️ Are you ready for the snow headed our way this week? You know WFAA Chief Meteorologist Pete Delkus is! Here, he shares some insights into how he stocks up at the grocery store ahead of a snowstorm. For his actual forecast, you'll want to head to wfaa.com.

@twoodard8 @TomFoxPhoto @dallasnews @runDallas Love this pic. Way to go. And Tom is ALL class.

A runner’s high is real. And my friend, the supremely talented @TomFoxPhoto, captured the moment mine kicked in! I am truly lucky to know Tom and so grateful he shared pics that I will forever treasure! @dallasnews @runDallas

If you're traveling this holiday season you may notice some airports branding themselves as sustainable and environmentally friendly. @DavidSchechter looks into the role of airports and airplanes to reduce carbon emissions and improve renewable energy.

@twoodard8 @MarkSchnyder Oh no! I’m so sorry, Teresa.

💔Praline💔 You were the very best girl and we will miss you forever. This house is painfully empty without you.🐾 @MarkSchnyder

In Georgia, solar installer Clay Copeland sees economic opportunity in renewable energy as the Inflation Reduction Act fuels growth, despite Republican Congressman Buddy Carter voting against it. With 70% of Americans concerned about climate change, questions arise about whether elected officials are listening to their constituents.

@PeteFreedman I saw. And well played!

@DavidSchechter Thanks, David! And I did even manage to sneak in a mention of the '84 Grand Prix!

I'm pretty sure this is the single-largest project I've ever worked on. I'm really proud of it and of the team that came together to work on it.

My fellow journalist, you may be interested in this…The nexis of politics and climate change and how to cover it.

@MunTra @cbssaturday Hi, Tracy. No, it does not.

@cbssaturday @DavidSchechter This was an amazing story. Does NJ have this law?

National recommendations call for cooling heat stroke patients before transporting them to the hospital, but as @DavidSchechter found out, only 11 states require ambulance services to follow this life-saving protocol.

@JonahJavad @LoneStarEMMY @wfaa Great speech. Great bolo. Congratulations!

What I do & who I do it for. 💛 Honored to receive another two EMMY®️ Awards including Best Sports Anchor in Texas. As I said in the speech, any success I have in this life is a tribute to my wife and our little family. Love you forever. 💕

@MichaelEMann @cbssaturday Thanks, as always, for sharing your unique insights with us.

I spoke with @DavidSchechter of @CBSSaturday about the latest in big ag climate greenwash:

Some other things I learned… The BLT is underrated. The number one ingredient in mayo is soybeans. Who knew?!?!?

@jeffgoodell @cbssaturday Thanks, as always Jeff, for sharing and leading the way on warning the public about the heat. Like all changes, it would require a bit of thoughtfulness to work through — but, hard to imagine a mitigation to climate-driven, extreme heat that is cheaper and easier.

An excellent (and terrifying) report from @cbssaturday about how ambulance crews improperly treat patients suffering from heat strokes and increase the risk of death. Yet another example of how far behind many doctors and emergency response workers are in understanding and dealing with the risks of living in a rapidly warming world.

@timmytyper Never knew you guys had been in a Guy Ritchie joint.

These two dudes just robbed a bank

It’s the hottest part of summer in Texas and across the South. Why don’t more ambulance services follow the gold standard of treating overheated patients? @CBSNews @MedStarEMSInfo @K_S_Institute @zachmfoundation

The best of climate reporting! Congratulations to all the winners.
