Climate in Crisis: LA Times Book Festival Sunday
Come on out to the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books Sunday and stop by my 11 am panel, Climate in Crisis, which promises to provide a provocative look at the biggest challenge of our lifetimes, global warming. I’ll be talking about the Eco Barons‘ response to global warming – and why, contrary to conventional wisdom, we already have laws on the books sufficient to turn the tide on greenhouse gas emissions. We need only the political will and courage to enforce those existing laws, rather than ignore them as we have been doing for years. Waiting for a fractured Congress to pass yet more laws is not only wasting precious time, it’s also an exercise in futility, as the compromise legislation that inevitably will result won’t come close to saving us.
Joining me on the panel will be William Kelly, co-author of Smogtown, Stephan Faris, author of Forecast, Dan Sperling, author of Two Billion Cars, and moderator Jon Wiener, UCI professor, radio host and author of Conspiracy in the Streets, Historians in Trouble, and Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon FBI Files. More on his books here.
Climate in Crisis starts Sunday at 11 am in Haynes 39, next door to Royce Hall at the center of the festival grounds on the UCLA campus.
