Climate Denial

Book cover of Parrot and The Igloo by David Lipsky
Maine Public

This show is a rebroadcast (original air date July 29, 2024); no calls will be taken.

David Lipsky, author of The Parrot and the Igloo, joins us to discuss his book on “the long, strange march of climate science.” The book explores how early understanding of climate change later gave rise to “anti-science.” Lipsky lays out the history of the people who sounded the early alarms about a warming planet, as well as those who promoted climate denial.

Panelist:
David Lipsky, fiction and nonfiction writer; contributing editor at Rolling Stone; New York Times best-selling author of Absolutely American and Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
