Safeguarding Sound Science

Scientists nearly unanimously agree that the planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and that humans are the cause.

Join host Mat Kaplan as he explores the current state of climate change denial and its roots with renowned climate scientist Michael E. Mann, author of The New Climate War, and National Center for Science Education Deputy Director Glenn Branch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
