This afternoon at 3:00 p.m. EST, NPR’s Fresh Air will feature an interview with noted Australian scientist Tim Flannery whose latest book, The Weather Makers, is credited with awakening his national government to the need to act on global warming.
The Fresh Air web site will offer streaming audio and tapes of the interview.
You can read the opening of my review of 
The Weather Makers and Elizabeth Kolbert’s 
Field Notes from a Catastrophe at my Science Shelf web site.
The full review will appear at the same URL after its publication in print in either the Dallas Morning News (date unknown, perhaps as early as March 26) or the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (April 2).
I’ll be blogging about the interview and evidence supporting Flannery’s claims tomorrow afternoon, March 23.
ScienceBlog.com has no paywalls, no sponsored content, and no agenda beyond getting the science right. Every story here is written to inform, not to impress an advertiser or push a point of view.
Good science journalism takes time — reading the papers, checking the claims, finding researchers who can put findings in context. We do that work because we think it matters.
