On today’s BradCast on Pacifica Radio’s KPFK here in Los Angeles, we focused on the climate remarks in President Obama’s Second Inaugural address which, frankly, seem to have stunned even the most seasoned environmental reporters.
We were joined by Bill Clinton’s former acting Assistant Secretary of Energy Joe Romm, who is now the editor of the indispensable ClimateProgress.org and author of Language Intelligence: Lessons on persuasion from Jesus, Shakespeare, Lincoln, and Lady Gaga
We discussed, among other issues, Romm’s encouraging speculation on whether or not Obama and the State Dept. (with John Kerry as its likely new head) will approve the Keystone XL pipeline or not, and what the horrifying consequences are likely to be if they do.
That, and much more (including a bit of other news, some great listener phone calls and the Green News Report’s Desi Doyen), all follow.
P.S. Remember, I don’t post all of the BradCasts here. But you can subscribe to the RSS feed here, or listen to the archive anytime on your mobile device with either the Stitcher Radio app or the TuneIn app, both of which carry the show.
P.S.S. Also still interested in creating a logo for The BradCast. So if you got logo-makin’ chops and wanna give it a crack, drop me a line!
Just as important to watch is Oil-Qaeda’s attempts to drill in the Arctic Ocean area, which Obama has fully supported and advocated for.
Thanks for keeping an eye on this Brad.
