Thursday morning on Goddard College Community Radio: You thought 2020 was bad? How the Pentagon's view of climate change makes the future look bleak. And a lighter story about libertarians, a small New Hampshire town with an independent streak, and bears.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Is Donald Trump more concerned with keeping some military bases named after Confederate generals than he is about whether the bases wash away in storms amplified by climate change? That's one of the questions I put to Michael Klare, who has spent a career looking critically at the U.S. empire and its wars and war planning. He'll tell us about how, in his latest book, All Hell Breaking Loose he examines climate change from the perspective of the U.S. military—how climate change affects vulnerable bases, leads to hunger and refugee crises, and increases and exacerbates conflicts. Plus some surprising information on how the military is investing in energy efficiency and in reducing carbon emissions.

On the lighter side, Matt Hongoltz-Hetling visited Grafton, New Hampshire to write a newspaper story about a routine conflict with the Veterans Administration. It led him to startling reports about remarkably high levels of bear activity in the area, and he came to connect the bear reports with an influx of libertarians who picked Grafton to be the town to which they moved to show the world what a libertarian-run town could look like. It's all in his new book, A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear.
