Climate Change-Man vs. Nature

Climate Change-Man vs. Nature

Guests:
Dr. David Bieler, Department of Geology, Centenary College Louisiana
Dr. Andrew Dessler, Department of Atmospheric Science, Texas A&M University

Our climate is changing – no doubt about it.  Heat waves are sweeping the continent, drought is devastating the south, yet floods have destroyed much of the Mississippi river valley… and across the globe tsunamis, hurricanes and tornadoes are racking up billions of dollars in damage and costing thousands of lives.  So we ask, what is causing the planet to experience such drastic weather patterns – is it just the normal cycle of nature or is man at the root of these changes?
