Kivalina-A Climate Change Story, Media Cross Ownership, & Bradley Manning gets a court date

Listen to last week's show - Ralph Nader & Bill Moyers at Public Citizen Anniversary & Richard Tripp Helps the Homeless in Kansas City - ***CLICK HERE***

Tonight on Tell Somebody, I'll talk to Christine Shearer, author of Kivalina - A Climate Change Story.

Christine Shearer is a researcher for CoalSwarm (part of SourceWatch) and the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She has previously worked at the KPFA Radio Evening News, the Center for Investigative Reporting, and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. Her work has appeared in academic and media publications including Race, Gender & Class, Conservation Letters, and Newsweek. She holds a PhD in Sociology from UC Santa Barbara. “This story is a tragedy, and not just because of what’s happening to the people of Kivalina. It’s a tragedy because it’s unnecessary, the product, as the author shows, of calculation, deception, manipulation, and greed in some of the biggest and richest companies on earth.”

—Bill McKibben, author Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
