We talk to the lead author on a study released today showing a majority of Americans starting to connect the dots between extreme weather events and climate change. Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz of Yale's Dept of Environmental Studies joins D.R. Tucker and I to discuss. If that link is strengthening it's no thanks to mainstream media; new data shows the broadcast networks mentioned climate change LESS often over the past two years than their coverage of Donald Trump. Jocelyn Fong, of Media Matters, opines on that disturbing trend. In our last segment we’ll talk to Catriona Macgregor, author of Partnering with Nature, about reversing the trend towards Nature Deficit Disorder and away from obesity! Just in time for Earth Day, Catriona will tell us what we can do to get off our (g)asses.

Climate convert D.R. Tucker joins me to interview the author of a brilliant new column called "GOP Stuck In A Conservative Wonderland". Michael Stafford is a Republican with some tough questions about his party's decline into extreme distortions of the facts, most notably in questioning the science of evolution and climate change. His insights are especially timely and valuable as he compares the surreality of this political moment to not so distant history. Next a chat with the Director of a fabulous new film, "The Island President" which documents President Nasheed's brave battle to wake the world up to the global threat of climate change before his island nation goes down. Jon Shenk also directed the moving film "The Boys of Sudan".
