Join Douglas Brinkley and David Lipsky as they discuss the nuances and history of how we’ve wrestled with a pervasive issue: climate change. Brinkley’s “Silent Spring Revolution” pays tribute to environmental activists in the ‘60s and beyond, and Lipsky’s “The Parrot and the Igloo” explores the evolution of climate denial and environmental science. Moderated by NPR’s Jenn White.
