How cities are combatting climate change 51:58

4 päivää sitten51:58

51:58

Climate change can impact the weather in a number of ways, from more severe storms to extreme temperatures and drought. And, as we see in the Midwest every spring and fall, temperatures can vary wildly in the span of just a day. That’s because Indiana is in the middle of a weather front , a transition zone between two contrasting air masses: warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold air from the north. Related: How is climate change impacting Indiana? Like many communities, Bloomington has made combatting climate change a priority. Two commissions, each composed of 12 residents, are working on climate and environmental issues. Five years ago, the Bloomington City Council created a Climate Action and Resilience Committee. But earlier this month, and at the recommendation of committee chair Matt Flaherty, it was disbanded, after he said it largely had accomplished its original mission of developing an action plan and accountability trackers, such as the city’s climate dashboard . Read more: City council plans to disband climate committee But he also said the four-member committee has occasionally stretched council resources thin. Flaherty said those resources would be better spent developing climate policy within those existing city bodies, such as the new Transportation Commission. Bloomington mayor Kerry Thomson said combatting climate change is a priority but acknowledges a climate action plan can also tax city resources. Read more: Thompson on the city’s climate priorities But how do we combat climate change? Gabriel Filipelli, professor of earth sciences and the executive director of the IU Environmental Resilience Institute, said climate change effects can be curbed by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the point where they can be absorbed by nature. This is called achieving net zero. On this week’s Noon Edition, we’ll discuss how city policies can combat climate change – and what you can do individually.

Tariffs, federal spending cuts have some economists worried 54:29

11 päivää sitten54:29

54:29

By almost every economic indicator, President Trump inherited a robust economy when he took office in January. The stock market was at record levels, inflation was at 4% and the adjusted GDP for 2024 a solid 2.8%. And nearly every major economic forecast had those numbers continuing in 2025. But President Trump’s policies — the on-again, off-again tariffs and the promise of the Department of Government Efficiency to cut a trillion dollars from federal agencies — have caused much uncertainty for consumers and volatility in the markets. There’s also the concern across multiple industries if Trump goes through with the promise of mass deportations of undocumented workers. Because of those policies, some economic forecasters have said the U.S. could already be entering a recession. Trump acknowledged last week the tariffs will cause “a little disturbance” in the economy and declined to rule out a recession. The Federal Reserve’s forecast of gross domestic product predicts the U.S. economy may actually contract this quarter. That hasn’t happened since 2022. At the state level, the Indiana legislature is working on its two-year budget with property tax reform a major priority. While that may provide some relief for individual home owners, local governments and public schools are raising red flags about what the lost revenue will mean to them. The state also has to make up for a billion-dollar shortfall last year in Medicaid.…

Indiana legislative session hits the halfway point 52:43

Indiana lawmakers returned to the statehouse this week for the second half of the 2025 legislative session. They still have to finish crafting a two-year budget and address a number of bills that advanced out of committees. Read more: Indiana’s legislative session hits halfway point Property tax reform has been a major priority of Governor Mike Braun – and the assembly. Senate Bill 1 would provide some relief to homeowners while seeking to be “responsible” with local governments and schools, which could lose millions of dollars in revenue from the state. Language in the budget would also create a universal school voucher system. That would mean any Indiana family, regardless of income, could use state funds through the Choice Scholarship Program to attend private, parochial or non-religious schools. Other education-related bills – there’s more than 30 – would require school districts that have at least 100 students attending a charter school to share their operating funds with that school; require schools to report when students miss more than 10 days of school; revamp the A-to-F grading system; add chaplains to schools; and require school board candidates to declare a political party. Read more: Senate bill bans DEI in state government, schools There’s also legislation pertaining to social issues. Senate Bill 289 would ban any agency or educational institution that receives money from the state from requiring employees to take part in diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, training and hiring. Read more: Advocates say Braun EOs tell transgender Hoosiers: 'You don't belong here' And House Bill 1041 would ban transgender women from playing in collegiate athletics. Braun signed an executive order this week that lines up with moves at the federal level to ban transgender women and girls from playing sports. The session must wrap up by April 29.

The Pillars Experience unofficially started in 2015 when IU established the Walter career center. The program was developed by consulting with college students, faculty, alumni and employers. The Pillars Undergraduate Experience reflects IU’s 2030 plan that focuses on student success and opportunity.

Bloomington’s refugee support organizations have felt the impact and expressed concerns about the stance on deportations by Gov. Mike Braun and Trump. Read More : Legal immigrants still worried about deportation under Trump Organizations like Exodus and The Bloomington Refugee Support Network have helped refugees integrate in Bloomington.

Indiana University has partnered with Exodus to provide support and opportunities for students to volunteer and teach English.

Read more: City board finalizes 2025 Kirkwood Outdoor Dining Program The Kirkwood Outdoor Dining Program began in 2020 during the pandemic to provide outside seating to local restaurants that had to adjust to indoor social distancing. Council members want to close Kirkwood for community matters but not for economic reasons, as was done in the past. Certain council members view Kirkwood as an experience rather than a walkable street. The closure of Kirkwood has raised concerns for businesses downtown; only half said in a recent survey that they support the closure. Read more: City considers long-term extension of Kirkwood outdoor dining program Accessibility worries were brought up during the city council vote, with community members expressing concerns about accessibility for people with disabilities and the elderly.

Experts and content creator discuss TikTok ban and cybersecurity 53:44

Stream the show LIVE On the first day of his term, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that added a 75-day period of non-enforcement on the TikTok ban. Three days earlier, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously upheld the federal law banning TikTok and on Jan. 18 the app was banned on all U.S devices. TikTok is currently facing scrutiny for collecting user data and allegedly sharing it with the Chinese government and knowingly allowing harmful activities on TikTok Live. The supreme court ban was issued because of concerns of manipulation of content by the Chinese government and obtaining access to user data. Congress passed the legislation to ban TikTok unless the platform was sold to a government-approved cooperative. TikTok CEO Shou Chew attended President Trump’s inauguration, as did the CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg and X owner Elon Musk. With over 170 million Americans using TikTok daily, President Trump is looking to reinstate TikTok permanently. Generation Z makes up 60 percent of the TikTok userbase. This week on Noon Edition we’ll talk with IU professors of cyber security and media ethics, as well as a TikTok content creator.

Read more: IU to play at Notre Dame in football playoff opener With IU’s sudden success, the university last month signed Cignetti to a new eight-year contract worth $8 million per year plus an annual $1 million retention bonus. The university agreed to renovations at Memorial Stadium and a much larger pool of money for assistant coaches and other support staff. Despite the team’s unprecedented record — and the national exposure that came with it for IU and Bloomington — there are skeptics. The Hoosiers lost 38-15 to the only ranked team they played, Ohio State on the road, reinforcing a belief by some that IU is overrated.
