For the first of two programs on climate change, the wise and wonderful host of NPR’s Science Friday, Ira Flatow, will discuss with distinguished climate scientists Bronwen Konecky and Gavin Schmidt how studying past and present climate conditions can lead to the development of future strategies to protect the Earth.
