Summary
Climate change is here, as Thom presents his show from a Portland suffering from temperatures above 100- will the reality of climate change sink into the national consciousness? Will we take real action before it is too late?
Tom Lindsay of the Center for Environmental and Democratic Rights joins the show to tell us about a landmark Rights of Nature law in Florida that is actually protecting the ecosystem and clean water.
And Rick Herz of EarthRights International reviews an important recent Supreme Court ruling that could determine whether it's even possible to sue corporations for crimes committed overseas.
