More clear, cogent--and even somewhat optimistic--discussion of climate change by Harvard scientist James G. Anderson. This week's topics include how vulnerable the U.S. is to the effects of climate change, what steps need to be taken to head off disaster, and how to persuade the American people to act.
Plus a short talk on climate and the environment by political scientist Michael Parenti (2006) and a song by David Rovics.
Thanls to Dale Lehman (WZRD, Chicago) for the original recording of the Anderson interview, which I have gently edited and condensed.
