Join us Wednesday, January 29 for the event "Read All About It - Climate Reporting and Sifting Through Bad Science ([link removed]) ".

With such an extraordinary amount of information bombarding us every day, it can be hard to choose reliable, evidence based news sources when it comes to climate change reporting. Similarly, mountains of data can be hard to distill down to a few key findings for the general public. Reporters can face harassment and intimidation for probing the most egregious climate offenders, and stories that take months of hard work to research and write can be trampled over in the blink of an eye by soundbites, scandals and clickbait. How do we, as readers, determine what constitutes good, honest climate journalism, and how do hard-working climate reporters combat the opaqueness of their subjects?

What: Read All About It - Climate Reporting and Sifting Through Bad Science ([link removed])
Who: Busboys & Poets and CCL-DC

CCL Book Club
The Burning Case for a Green New Deal
By Naomi Klein

The CCL-DC book club meets monthly to discuss readings around climate action.

Book Description: "With reports spanning from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, to the annual smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, to post-hurricane Puerto Rico, to a Vatican attempting an unprecedented 'ecological conversion,' Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis."
