"Weird Weather and a Warming World: The Climate Change Imperative" at the TCFR

Aired on Thursday, January 24th.

The earth's climate has warmed significantly since the late 19th century, and the activities of humankind -- primarily greenhouse-gas emissions -- are the main cause behind this warming. Such is the consensus view of the world's climate scientists. On today's ST, we explore the issue of climate change with a noted **political** scientist. Joshua Busby is an Associate Professor of Public Affairs and a Distinguished Scholar at the Strauss Center for International Security and Law at the University of Texas. His books include "Moral Movements and Foreign Policy" and "AIDS Drugs for All: Social Movements and Market Transformations." He's also written several studies on climate change, national security, and energy policy for the Council on Foreign Relations, the Brookings Institution, and other organizations. Busby recently gave an address at the Tulsa Committee on Foreign Relations titled "Weird Weather and a Warming World: The Climate Change Imperative."

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
