"If we don't get off the dime, it's going to be a dark, dark future." This week, Burke speaks with Alan Miller, an internationally recognized authority on climate finance and policy, and Durwood Zaelke, an environmental expert, discuss their new book, "Cut Super Climate Pollutants Now!" based on the biggest threats to our environment in the era of climate change. Throughout the show, they discuss the main points mentioned throughout the book and what needs to be done within the next 20 years before the environment becomes irreversibly damaged. As experts, Zaelke and Miller go into great detail explaining the most essential elements of the book along with why we should care in the first place.  They address the question of whether or not the ordinary person is even capable of having a direct impact on improving the environment when large corporations and other businesses alone have a greater ability to act themselves.
