On this edition of Your Call, prominent climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann is discussing the impacts of the midterm elections on US climate policies and the transition to renewable energy.
He says a more ambitious US climate policy would require a larger congressional majority that supports aggressive action — a scenario that depends in part on whether voters turn out in the midterm elections to vote for climate champions and against deniers and delayers.
We'll also discuss the climate agenda at the two-week UN climate summit in Egypt.
Guest:
Dr. Michael Mann, presidential distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania, with a secondary appointment in the Annenberg School for Communication, and author of The New Climate War: The Fight to Take Back Our Planet
