A Deep Dive into Our Climate

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 10, 2017

The New York Times released a draft of a climate change report by scientists from 13 federal agencies. The draft overwhelmingly states Americans are feeling the effects of climate change now. Andrew Revkin, senior reporter for climate and related issues at ProPublica, takes a deep dive into the 670-page report, the Trump administration's approach to the issue, and if there's something individuals can do on a day-to-day basis about it. "This science cannot be squashed," Revkin says. The report has voluminous sections on the knowns and unknowns of climate change, and now the onus lies with society.
