A Climate Of Crisis: America In The Age Of Environmentalism

04/22/15 - The old-fashioned term “teach-in” applied to the first Earth Day, in 1970.  Now, it’s an internationally accepted week of environmental mindfulness.

On the next Topical Currentswe observe 45-years of environmental debate with Emory University professor Patrick Allitt, who’s published the book, A CLIMATE OF CRISIS: America in the Age of Environmentalism.  That’s Topical Currents, Wednesday at 1pm.
