Sharyn Alfonsi visits Louisiana to report on the state of maternal healthcare in the United States, which has some of the highest maternal mortality rates and where women already face additional obstacles to care due to the state’s abortion ban. The producer is Ashley Velie. OUT OF THIN AIR – Carbon dioxide’s heat-trapping effects are worse than anyone expected, according to a 2023 United Nations climate report, as oil and gas emissions hit record highs. Bill Whitaker visits Iceland to observe the first commercial direct air capture plant, which could help solve climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it underground. Whether or not a climate disaster occurs depends on how quickly this new industry can expand. Heather Abbott is the producer.
