Summary
Thom describes the upcoming stops on his book tour. - Trump is working to wreck climate science by banning federal research to look beyond the year 2040. - Dahr Jamail, author of 'The End of Ice', joins Thom in studio once again. Is it already too late to save human civilization from catastrophic carbon-driven global climate change? - Suzanne York of Transition Earth argues for a balance between human rights and heading off climate change. - Earth to Extinction' - Stephanie Felstein with the Center for Biological Diversity believes we must change our resource consumption- especially wasteful sectors like animal agriculture- to leave room for some species to survive the mass extinction event we are already watching around us. - Thom reads from Dahr Jamail's book 'The End of Ice'. - Dahr Jamail rejoins Thom in the studio. How did his experience reporting on the Iraq war lead to his mission to wake up the world to the reality of climate disruption? - And Thom finishes the program with a recent study that showed that many rivers near major cities have antibiotic levels high enough to possibly breed resistant bacteria.
