After more than three decades writing about human-driven climate change and wider sustainability issues, former New York Times journalist Andrew Revkin has started building an initiative at Columbia University's Earth Institute testing ways to make information matter on a fast-forward, noisy planet. On October 25 at noon, Revkin will speak about his quest for communication impact—"From the melting North Pole to the overheated media climate,"—at the University of Vermont's Memorial Lounge, Waterman Building. The talk is free and open to the public. Please join us.
