When Pigs Float: Storms, Agriculture & Climate Change (625)

We look at the ongoing disaster in North Carolina from angles of equality, food security and environmental justice. We then turn to the efforts of Texas-based oil companies looking for public funds to protect themselves from climate change, as well as the debate over cap-and-trade surrounding the Global Climate Action Summit. We end with a discussion of industrial animal farming and clean tech innovation.
