Revkincover
Andy Revkin
, science writer for the New York Times and author of  The North Pole Was Here tells us how Bush administration officials removed from NASA’s mission statement the reference to understanding
and protecting our home planet
– and how budget cuts are dramatically
limiting the ability of the Agency to study the effects of climate
change. He also speaks about recent efforts by Oklahoma’s Senator James Imhofe to
discredit him and other journalists concerned by global warming.
