Straight Up - Climate Politics and Earth Day 1
Featured Author: Joseph Romm, author, Straight Up; Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress Action Fund
Moderated by: John Podesta, President and Chief Executive Officer, Center for American Progress Action Fund
There could not be a better time for Joseph Romm, acclaimed climate blogger and former acting assistant secretary of energy during the Clinton administration, to release his new book, Straight Up: America’s Fiercest Climate Blogger Takes on the Status Quo Media, Politicians, and Clean Energy Solutions.
As we approach the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, the scientific realities about the warming of our world are becoming increasingly dire, an epic legislative battle looms in the Senate over whether the United States will be part of the solution or perpetuate the problem, and the mainstream media—hemorrhaging qualified science and environmental reporters—is paralyzed and unable to effectively inform a public that increasing seeks out information from online sources and the ever-expanding blogosphere.
Amid this backdrop, please join Dr. Joseph Romm in conversation with Center for American Progress Action Fund President and CEO John Podesta as they take on the science, the politics, the solutions, and the media. Copies of Straight Up will be available for purchase at the event.
Admission is free.
However, space is extremely limited. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and not guaranteed.

What a terrific dialog. It would be even more wonderful to have a webinar or podcast of the event. Very Best, Kathleen Connel
