The Climate Minute - Metaphors for all!

We were grateful to be joined by D.R. Tucker (@DRTucker) this week. Here are some links to the topics we mentioned. Read the New Yorker's Obama interview, President’s State of the Union and some background on the NSA spying on Copenhagen climate talks. The Atlanta snowstorm fits a bigger pattern. Michael Mann is a hero for climate activists, and is having some success silencing his critics. We're back in the polar Vortex, while Australia is suffering a historic heatwave.  Ted spoke with our Australian friend Gavin Webber about the weather, and the weather change in Australian politics.  You can subscribe to our iTunes feed and get our podcasts automatically here. Feel free to give us your thoughts on our Facebook page, or through old-fashioned email. You can even follow us on twitter @MassClimate , so there are lots of ways for you to listen and participate in the dialog. When you are on the website, please contribute to MCAN. Your generous donations help us continue to bring climate news and views to you through our podcast and blogs, but also help support the Annual MCAN conference (this year on March 2nd, at Northeastern University), and our local climate action. So we will close the way we always close, by saying that because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions- specifically to pay for the full cost of carbon pollution at the time we create it, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the US put a price on carbon.
