Description


This conversation at The New School will focus on how to generate the political and social change necessary to confront climate change.

Robert Jay Lifton, author of many books, including most recently, Witness to an Extreme Century (a memoir) and currently working on a book comparing nuclear and climate threats

Naomi Oreskes, Professor of the History of Science, Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Harvard University; author of many books, most recently, The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future with Eric Conway (Columbia University Press, 2014).

Moderator: Tom Engelhardt, editor, writer, and author; creator of TomDispatch.com, a project of the Nation Institute where he is a fellow

In a letter to The New York Times in April, Lifton states, "As we have learned in the antinuclear movement, a certain amount of fear can be useful when combined with hope. In our climate struggles, that hope should not be sought in misleading claims of technological magic. Rather, it can be found in our capacity to translate our awareness of actual danger into energy policies emphasizing renewable, noncontaminating sources that even now outpace our grasp of their potential contribution to our lives and those of our descendants."
