An Early Climate Change Warning Ignored (1957) w/ Amy Westervelt
It's May 13th. This day in 1957, oceanographer Roger Revelle offered testimony to Congress about the perilous effects of carbon in the Earth's atmosphere.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by climate journalist Amy Westervelt to discuss how the warnings about climate change were being presented much earlier than we may realize, and how voices like Revelle were ignored -- and then undermined -- by government and corporations.
