Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Elizabeth Kolbert: Can We Change Nature to Save It?
How irreversibly have we altered the natural world?
That\u2019s a question climate journalist Elizabeth Kolbert has been trying to answer for decades while reporting on the environment for The New Yorker magazine.
In her Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Sixth Extinction, she explored the ways in which our capacity for destruction has reshaped the natural world. In her latest book - Under a White Sky - The Nature of the Future she examines how the very sorts of interventions that have imperiled our planet are increasingly seen as the only hope for its salvation.
And today\u2014in recognition of Earth Day, she joins Patrick Flynn, SVP and Global Head of Sustainability at Salesforce, to discuss what steps we need to take to reign in carbon emissions and save our planet.
