"Understanding the Global Environmental Crisis" Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Professor John Harte of UC Berkeley for a discussion of what environmental science teaches us about the potentially catastrophic consequences of a failure to address the current environmental crisis. His intellectual odyssey from physics to environmental studies offers important insight into how scientists have come to understand the relationship between humanity and nature and the necessary conditions for providing a balance that insures the well being of future generations. The conversation concludes with a discussion of how the present moment can be seized to meet the challenge of global warming. cooltheearth.us/ globetrotter.berkeley.edu/iis/Kreisler.html globetrotter.berkeley.edu/conversations/
