On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Mark Hertsgaard, author of Hot: Living Through the Next Fifty Years on Earth. He was inspired by his daughter, whose generation will inherit the consequences of climate change. So what's in store for the planet in the next 50 years? And what can we do about it? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How can we prepare future generations for the climate changes they will face? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Click to Listen: How will future generations live with global warming?
Regarding the caller that was concerned that people shouldn't have children as the planet may not be habitable in 50 yrs: I agree that she was a bit too pessimistic about the future, but I also am concerned with overpopulation. It is irresponsible to say that increased numbers of humans will not be problematic if we just "live more lightly on the Earth".
ReplyDeleteToo many of us living lightly on the planet will still deplete our limited resource... sooner or later! Limiting population should be part of the discourse on climate change.
