What’s Up With the Weather?  The Politics of Climate Change. Audio recording of the National Radio Project’s Making Contact, originally broadcast on 20 July 2005.  “On this edition, we’ll hear about whom climate is affecting, industry and government cover-ups, and those calling for action before it’s too late.”

“Global warming is transforming life as we know it from the arctic islands to the Long Island Sound. Now, 25 years after we first heard the term, scientists say the debate is over – climate change is here. On this edition, we’ll hear about whom climate is affecting, industry and government cover-ups, and those calling for action before it’s too late.”
