Boulder city and county officials are suing Suncor Energy and Exxon Mobil for damages tied to wildfire response, infrastructure repair, and watershed restoration they attribute to climate change, without seeking to regulate emissions or production. Some counties have filed court records backing the oil companies at taxpayer expense, prompting Rio Blanco County rancher Deirdre Macnab to organize fellow ranchers in support of Boulder instead.

The episode features ranchers Macnab and Kathleen Sullivan Kelley describing how climate change is affecting their land, alongside a weekly roundup covering other regional stories.
