This week on Under the Radar with Callie Crossley:

Governor Maura Healey wants Massachusetts to “lead the world” in its fight against climate change, and she has staked her claim by naming the first-in-the-nation cabinet-level climate chief to her Cabinet. But some advocates want more direct action.

And, a new study documents a dramatic 50 year rise of warmer climates during our region's winters. With less snow and fewer frozen ponds — is New England’s very identity melting away?

Plus, there's exciting buzz for a new vaccine for honeybees. Will it offer new protection for the indispensable pollinator?

That and more on our Environmental News Roundtable.
