Climate change is the overriding challenge of our time. If we don’t get a grip on it, soon, no other issue-not the economy, racial and gender equality, or education and technology-will matter, and our children will suffer an unbearably bleak future. Which is why all of us have to get involved. Come find out how from Mark Hertsgaard, who has reported on climate change from across America and around the world in books and media outlets including The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Time, Scientific American, Mother Jones, Bloomberg Businessweek, NPR, the BBC and The Nation, where he is the environment correspondent. Copies of his book, HOT: Living Through the Next Fifty Years on Earth, will be available for purchase and signing.
