Florida Matters “Climate Change and the Media” (September 21, 2007)
Thermometers don't lie. There is little question the earth is getting warmer. But the issue of global warming is certainly hot. Is global warming a trend? Is it periodic? Is it natural or manmade? Can it be stopped? It's not the easiest story to report. On this week’s Florida Matters, we'll take a look at what the experts are saying about the possible impact of global warming on Florida and how the media are reporting the story. Listen now
VIDEO: Florida Governor Charlie Crist and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appear on the CBS Early Show July 16, 2007 to discuss efforts by their states to combat global warming .
