Climate: Minutes to Midnight?

Season 3 Episode 303 | 56m 46s

As climate change moves from an imminent peril to a deadly reality for vast swaths of the country, a panel of nationally recognized groundbreakers discusses the gaping dichotomy between what scientists say needs to be done to moderate an impending disaster and the political reality of what is possible. The panel examines the issues' role in elections and the role of private citizens and companies.
