Author, The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth
sponsored by Progressive Forum Houston
Widely acclaimed as the finest and clearest account of the science of global warming, Flannery’s book presents the powerful connection between climate change and human activity, and lays out a game plan for halting and eventually reversing the damage that we “weather makers” are doing. A native Australian, Flannery is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books, ABC Radio, NPR, and the BBC. He has taught at Harvard and is currently director of the South Australian Museum and the National Geographic Society’s Australasian representative.
