This episode of Moyers & Company is for those who especially believe they are deep thinkers.  Not only does it offer great insights as to why we have done nothing significant about preventing or affecting Climate Change it underscores the nature of human beings.  How we strike attitudes and because of our nature are easily manipulated and/or remain unengaged.

Full Show: Ending the Silence on Climate Change

January 4, 2013

Climate change communication expert Anthony Leiserowitz explains why climate change gets the silent treatment, and what we should do about it.

Anthony talks about six different Americans in a very interesting way.  The message is universal.

For those of you who see this blog more frequently you will see a theme consistent with other stories I have favored.  Three in particular come to mind --

Think Politics - TED - Kahneman - Riddle: Experience vs Memory

MSNBC, CSPAN, TED, PBS - Moyers -How do Liberals & Conservatives View World - Haidt

TED : Dan Ariely - Our buggy moral code - explains ENRON, Politics

 

Can you generalize about what you need to do?

Moyers : Hacker & Pierson on Engineered Inequality : PBS

From Bill Moyers & Company website:

Because of Hurricane Sandy’s impact on our offices and studio, we’re airing this encore edition of Moyers & Company, first broadcast in January. This Election Day, issues of money, influence and “winner-take-all politics” are more important than ever.

Moyers & Company dives into one of the most important and controversial issues of our time: How Washington and Big Business colluded to make the super-rich richer and turn their backs on the rest of us.

Bill’s guests – Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson, authors of Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer — And Turned Its Back on the Middle Class, argue that America’s vast inequality is no accident, but in fact has been politically engineered

Bill Moyers interviews Craig Unger

Craig Unger on the Continuing Power of Karl Rove

September 14, 2012

Bill talks with Craig Unger, author of Boss Rove: Inside Karl Rove’s Secret Kingdom of Power, about Rove’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to once again affect the outcome of a presidential election.

“Most people thought he was a creature of the Bush family,” Unger tells Bill. “I think he’s a force more powerful than that.”

Alternet - Bill Moyers & Thomas Frank Go Deep on "Dark Money in Politics"

We gave you a preview of Moyers and Frank's convo earlier this week, in which they real-talked their way through the Congress/lobby "revolving door" (in case you couldn't tell by Jamie Dimon's cheerful welcome into his own Senate hearing: it exists). Now, you can watch the full show, wonderfully and ominously titled "Dark Money in Politics," they spoke revealingly about Scott Walker, Wall Street cronyism, George W Bush and so much more. A must-watch:
