Talks about protecting the climate are peppered with Megawatts and BTU’s; parts per million and fugitive methane; wind velocity and crop yields. All these terms can make your head spin – even if you understand and accept that humans are frying the Earth.
But behind the numbers are hearts and minds. And that’s what we’re talking about today. How do people thinkabout climate change? Why aren’t more Americans engaged and actively addressing the most pressing issue of our times? And how do social groups shape individual attitudes toward climate disruption?
This special will air on Friday January 2nd at 10 AM and 8 PM.
