But here, at least for some frame of reference as to how the situation stood ten years ago, is the first part of a two part series called The Climate Wars – The Science And Politics Of Global Warming, first broadcast in February of 2004.
Somehow, things haven’t changed all that much. But Polar Vortex is a new word to the lexicon.
