Moyers & Company. Ending the Silence on Climate Change

Description

Remember climate change? For the first time since 1984, the issue didn't even come up in a presidential debate. But bringing climate change back into our national conversation is as much a communication challenge as it is a scientific one. In this edition of Moyers Company, scientist Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication, joins Bill to describe his efforts to do what even Hurricane Sandy couldn't: galvanize communities over what's arguably the greatest single threat facing humankind. Also included is an essay on how the NRA and gun merchants continue to strong-arm Congress and state legislatures into keeping any and all discussion of sensible gun control off the table.
