“Might it be better just to leave the U.S. out of this altogether?” Climate Science Watch director Rick Piltz talked with Al Jazeera English TV about climate change, global warming deniers, and looking ahead.

The Al Jazeera English Q&A with anchor Shihab Rattansi, in Washington D.C. on December 29, started with a question about whether weather extremes in 2010 were connected to human-caused climate change and led on to questions about preparing for global climate disruption and not waiting for the United States to show leadership.
