Dr. John Berger, an environmental science and policy specialist and a Senior Research Fellow at The Pacific Institute, joins Dr. Chris Meek on Next Steps Forward to discuss his book “Solving the Climate Crisis: Frontline Reports from the Race to Save the Earth,” a book he spent more than six years researching as he traveled the nation and abroad to gather a sweeping array of perspectives. A graduate of Stanford and the University of California, Dr. Berger has written more than 100 articles on climate change and transitioning to clean energy for such publications as Scientific American, the Los Angeles Times, and the Boston Globe. He has also been a consultant to the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, corporations, utilities and Congress. In addition to his book, he will discuss how the understanding of climate change evolved over the past few decades, what a national climate plan could look like, why he believes climate-change denial exists, and the most pressing challenges the world faces today due to climate change.
