On the Green Front - Planetary Predicament - 10/10/12




On the Green Front show

Summary: What if the steps we're now beginning to take to combat climate change won't make a difference, or not even close to enough in mitigating climate disruption? A new book says there are some fundamental policy mistakes being made and won't do the job. Rutgers Professor Howard Latin and author of the new book, Climate Change Policy Failures: Why Conventional Mitigation Approaches Cannot Succeed, tells us why even a carbon tax won't be enough to turn the eco-tide. Next Reverend Earl Koteen, a consulting Minister for Climate Justice, shares what we CAN do after we accept some difficult truths about our planetary predicament. First, find community and come together!
