Don Cheadle, Rick Perry, and Climate Change’s Impact on One Texas Town
It’s thrilling to have a weekly blog on TPM – at least for the next nine weeks while our series, Years of Living Dangerously, runs on Showtime. As Josh noted a few days ago, the two of us go back to when his office was a corner table in the Starbuck’s north of Dupont Circle and he wrote TPM all by himself.
Early along, when my partner, Joel Bach, and I were searching for strong characters who could help tell the climate change story, I hopped on a plane for Lubbock, Texas, to meet Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, who teaches climate science at Texas Tech. I’d heard a lot about Katharine – a distinguished climate scientist who’s also an Evangelical Christian.
