Earthbeat Radio

The climate bill passing through Congress punishes countries that don’t take action – but what if America gets a taste of its own medicine? Host Mike Tidwell speaks about the potential of sanctions against the U-S if we continue to drag our feet on fighting climate change with Lori Wallach, the director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch and Marty Spitzer, the legislative director for the Center for Clean Air Policy.

Then we’ll discuss how the mainstream media continues to miss the big story of climate change with Mike Lemonick, a senior writer with the website Climate Central and the former science and environment writer for Time Magazine.

Then, the connections between climate denial and Bigfoot believers, we’ll speak to Hasan Nazar, the legislative representative for the League of Conservation Voters and the editor of the website that uncovered the Sasquatch connection, Really-Seriously.

Our theme music is Baladi by Tony Anka, Bellydance Superstars vol. 2.
