FRONTLINE investigates the politics behind the US failure to confront what may be one of the most serious problems facing humanity today--global warming. Watch it on air and online at http://www.pbs.org/frontline/hotpolitics/ beginning April 24.
"Hot Politics" coming April 24 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). FRONTLINE and the Center for Investigative Reporting go behind the scenes to explore how bi-partisan political and economic forces prevented the U.S. government from confronting what may be one of the most serious problems facing humanity today. The film examines some of the key moments that have shaped the politics of global warming, and how local and state governments and the private sector are now taking bold steps in the absence of federal leadership.
