More Power To You

In this episode of More Power To You we're getting real about climate. Hal Connolly, Senior Vice President for Programs at the Climate Reality Project, joins the podcast to discuss the climate crisis and reasons for both pessimism and optimism about the current political dynamic. Hal discusses some of Climate Reality's key programs such as Climate Reality Leadership Training and the 100% Committed initiative; shares his perspective on what the new Congress and Administration may mean for climate funding and regulations such as the Clean Power Plan; covers some ways in which climate action and clean energy are gaining traction in communities around the country; and mentions Vice President Al Gore's next inconvenience. We close with Hal's prediction about achieving the emission targets set at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference. Recorded: March 22, 2017 Published: March 27, 2017
