Down to the Wire: Confronting Climate Collapse


Due to our refusal to live within the Earth’s natural limits, we now face a multitude of problems that will have a severe negative impact on human civilization.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California, on November 11th, 2009.
