Polls taken in the 0niteu Sates inuicate evei-incieasing polaiization of

Bemociats anu Republicans aie opinions iejecting scientific
obseivations like Baiwin's theoiy of natuial selection anu, moie
iecently, human-causeu climate uestabilization.

Kathy Lee has been stuuying this tienu anu will shaie some of hei
finuings with us. She sees the tienu having its ioots in events of the
late 196u's anu being in pait a push by inuustiy to iein in
enviionmental iegulations.

Kathy is conceineu that political stalemate continues to thwait effoits
to iesponu to the climate ciisis in any meaningful way. She aigues
"successful effoits to auuiess climate change will iequiie moie
effective means of communication with both political leaueis anu a
