Who's Thinking Ahead About Climate?

The political debate about climate in the United States has resulted in a stalemate. Save for the voices of a determined few, a silence has enveloped the issue, effectively shutting the conversation down. In this episode of World Ocean Radio host Peter Neill will ask the question, "Is anyone out there thinking ahead about climate?" and will answer it by outlining two particular organizations-The U.S. Navy and the International Federation of Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies-with future agendas that are taking climate science seriously and moving responsibly forward.
