A conversation with Michael Dorsey, Visiting Professor of Environmental Studies at Wesleyan College, about the recent COP18 Climate Change Conference in Doha, Qatar, international climate change policy, and what that means for Greene and Columbia counties. We'll also speak to Tiffany Garriga from the Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood, to learn more about their community meeting this evening. And we'll hear from Claire Lebowitz, the Founder/Director of Whistleblower Theater, about "Bradass87," a play that uses documentary sources to examine the story of Bradley Manning. Manning is the United States Army soldier who was arrested in May 2010 in Iraq on suspicion of having passed classified material to the whistleblower website WikiLeaks. Lebowitz discusses last week's pre-trial hearings. Today is Manning's 25th birthday.
