Oscar-nominated filmmaker Laurie David on the people who don't want you to hear about global warming. This time on NOW.
Ahead of a major UN scientific report on global warming to be released next week, David Brancaccio talks with Laurie David, an environmental activist and outspoken co-producer of the Oscar-nominated documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." On January 26 at 8:30 p.m., David levels direct charges against those she feels stand in the way of climate-change education, and says America needs to lead the world in protecting the planet.
"People are finally understanding the urgency of the issue. And I think they're starting to look at what they can do," David tells NOW. "But now we have to get government to change ... we have to take a leadership role."
The woman who made global warming cool, this time on NOW.
Also on the show, Maria Hinojosa talks with an environmental crusader, Majora Carter, who's looking to effect climate change in her own neighborhood of the South Bronx.
Note: The NOW website at www.pbs.org/now will provide additional coverage starting Friday morning, January 26. It include an exclusive walking tour of the hot spots in Majora Carter's efforts to create a "sustainable South Bronx."
