Recorded at the Lensic Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico on October 24, 2007.
Tim Flannery is on a mission. He believes human activity is drastically altering the earth's climate, and in time these changes will have a devastating effect. In The Weather Makers: How Man is Changing the Climate and What it Means for Life on Earth, he traces the story of climate change over millions of years and exposes the substantial, human-induced impact and likely effects if this process continues. He then proposes a plan to halt, and ultimately reverse, this trend. The book has been published in 32 countries and has played a key role in international discussion of the issue. A regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and The Times Literary Supplement, Flannery also contributes to NPR and the BBC.

Excellent talk and interview! Thank you for making it available.
I am intrigued by Tim Flannery's mention of the history of bromofluorocarbons (vs CFCs) and advocacy for a Montreal Protocol Day.
