The interviews were recorded in communities affected by extreme weather, the statement said.
“In this second installment, we’re looking forward to adding to the climate conversation by speaking with scientists, scholars and a new set of candidates. These conversations help to illuminate why the climate crisis is also a civil rights problem,” Weather Channel meteorologist Stephanie Abrams said in the statement.
The special will air Feb. 1 at 8 p.m. Eastern and will follow a previous installment of the program that aired in November.
Klobuchar and Steyer will also appear in Tuesday night’s debate, but Bloomberg and Yang will not. Bloomberg joined the crowded Democratic field in November.
