The Death of Environmentalism
A conversation between Michael Pollan and the "bad boys of American environmentalism"
Presented by The Knight Program in Science and Environmental Journalism
In 2004, Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger sparked a firestorm of controversy with their essay "The Death of Environmentalism." In it, they argued that the politics used to help reduce acid rain and smog would not work to diminish global warming. Environmentalism must die, they said, so that something new can be born.
On Monday, November 5, journalism professor Michael Pollan will talk to the authors about their new book Break Through, in which they write about how best to address the threat of global warming and examine the larger failure of American liberalism to reinvent itself.
