We hear from a former policy advisor for president Carter who witnessed how several presidential administrations responded to the threat of climate change. Also, we hear from two young Americans who say they have been harmed by the decisions of past presidents and are suing the U.S. Government’s for it’s promotion and protection of fossil fuels.
