The Climate Minute: Outside the fence, but inside New York (PODCAST)

Lots of news this week. Divestment is sweeping Massachusetts, and Bill McKibben issued a call for action in NYC this September. (Read more commentary here, but note the correction that there will be NO civil disobedience.)

The Obama administration will soon release regulations limiting carbon pollution from existing electric power plants. Here is some analysis of what the rules might do.

Billionaire Tom Steyer will put money into this fall's election in order to make climate a real issue. We discuss what it means.

Pope Francis seems to be getting greener all the time, and even the National Catholic Reporter calls climate change the church’s number one pro-life issue.

Thanks for listening.
