The Carbon Conundrum

Public Radio Tulsa – With an atmosphere of agreement that capping carbon is good for the planet, world leaders are still generating a lot of hot air arguing how to do it. And, the inconvenient truth is that this isn't just an international political problem - the actual process of greening cars, cows, and coal-fired power plants will be even more exhausting than getting 190 countries to sign a treaty. This edition of America Abroad explores the issue - from the Peruvian rainforest where economic development is slashing a weapon in the war on warming, to the U.S. where businesses are struggling to scrub their smokestacks, and the carbon credit debate is heating up on Capitol Hill.

Tune in Friday at 8:00 pm on Public Radio 89.5 HD1.
