rachel carson, who i'm going to mention in a minute. was writing with the member of the new frontier of john f. kennedy, writing environmental planks for the democratic party. being hosted by ethel canaday, bobby kennedy's wife, by jackie kennedy, you know so i thought i knew where i was and in the book, because the third wave ended in 1973, not even the question, it ended in 1973 with the triumph of the endangered species act passing the senate 92 to nothing. so when you hear about this being liberal, it was american. and that same moments almost to the week, where endangered species was a big closing legislation of 73, we have the arab oil embargo, opec, fear of gasoline prices, need for energy going high, energy independence and a counter revolution that developed, immediately to stop rachael carson-ism. ralph nader-ism, environmentalism, that got too far it went so far the wife said that nixon had become a new dealer. and i will mention why they felt that, but out of that, counter spring, to what i'm about to tell you. the american

kennedy was asked, what about rachel carson's article in the new yorker. he set i will put in an advisory panel. he came up with a pretty quick report that proved carson's research was accurate. yet, it took a decade to ban ddt . it was not until 1970 two. rachel carson dies of breast cancer in 19 60 four. there was a silent spring revolution. the big turning point was to convert the environmental wall in the 60's. even as late as 1960 five and 1966, it was called conservation. environment started kicking in due to commoners and scientists using the term environments which took hold and ddt got banned by nixon in 1972. it is the people. we have to speak up. these reports are all there. i deal with them in my book like david. ravel in the 50's and the kennedy administration had a loose document going on around climate change. johnson in 1965 try to give a speech about it. he had medicaid and medicare and vietnam and civil rights so it got buried in the media. i print, almost verbatim, a memo. does anyone remember daniel patrick moynihan? brilliant. he writes

but of course rachel carson is known for sounding alarm about pesticides and the damage that humankind was doing to our environment and to our environment. by environment, she met our species as as she included humanity in the full scope of of the planet of the planet. and her words were, but here we are today with a level of environmental degradation and fears about the of climate change that are worse than ever worse than ever. so some of these have been resolved, but others are enduring. and we're still fighting for them. okay. thank you for that. i think i was and that's really interesting that there wasn't one theme such as health health care rights or social reform that gained traction than others. so thank you so much much. i thank you for here. i really admire anyone who does the research for the women who haven't had light shining on them and are so deserving they. have those shown on them? so great to lose to you. you mentioned grimly and those i assume that you read the of women's eye. i was drawn to charleston last october for a wedding and the family arranged a tour by gui

the kind of audience for nature writers and the writers who succeeded later on were people like rachel carson for example who are very focused on one threat, the silent spring so she became quite famous in that respect because she had a cause in some of these other writers writers -- burroughs had no cause but he was not a founder of an organization. he was just frankly not a recluse but he built his cabin in upstate new york and lived out his life there and faded away. >> are there any other questions? >> let me add just one thing. a wonderful writer and he's associated with of course some very very important intellectual traditions and advocacy and his support of civil disobedience and is -- these kinds of things which made him more of a person and that respect for his burroughs didn't have that kind of input. lee's go ahead. >> we all know john burroughs but i confess i don't know does he write specifically about geographical areas? >> all kinds of things. he traveled around the united states. he was out on the west. he wrote about birds in particular. he wrote about rivers. he was just a

was other credit audios for nature writers and writers who succeeded later on were people like rachel carsonr example the was very focused on one prad for silent spring so she became quite famous in the respect because she had a cause is of these underwriters indeed were associated with causes of the sierra club and rosetta cause is not a counter of an organization and hee was just frankly, even those company in upstate new york and lived his life there and he faded. that is the best i can put it. >> are there other questions. we had one thing, and again, you thinking of people like pro for example, wonderful writer but he's associated with some very important intellectual traditions and advocacy and is supportive disobedience in these kind of things which make them i think sort of more of a person of the age of forever that respect was boroughs again, do not have a kind of i'm sorry, please go ahead. >> i certainly know the name well neutron boroughs but not familiar with this writing to be i specifically about geographicalca areas is a just general interest payment think he traveled around

the writer succeeded late on a people like rachel carson, for example, it was very focused on one threat, silent spring picture she became quite famous in that respect because she had a cause for some of these underwriters indeed were associate with causes like john muir and the sierra club here burroughs had no cause. it was not the founder of an organization. he was just frankly not a recluse but he built his cabin upstate new york and lived out his life there, and faded away. that's the best i could put it. >> are there any other questions? me add one thing as a footnote, i'm sorry. but again, in the 19th century if you're thinking about people like thoreau, for example, a wonderful writer but he's associate with of course some very, very important intellectual traditions and advocacy, and his support of civil disobedience and his famous life on walden pond, these kinds of m things which me him more of the presents for the age, forever, you know, in that respect whereas burroughs again didn't have that kind of input. i'm sorry. please, go ahead. >> i certainly know the name for we all

well as young people, kind of inventing organic farming and reaction against the pesticide era, rachel carson talked about. so we see a world unimaginable changed in 50 years and unimaginably changed again in 50 years. depending what we do now, which is why, as climate activists we're so committed to fighting for the best case scenario and trying to push back the worst case scenario. >> we, at least by agenda for this evening is definitely includes investigating these stories and how we can change these narratives. and what those might be and i think thelma and fenton's point about being the artists help us with our imagination, creating new pictures. are there pictures in the book that-- are there stories, is there something that you'd especially like to share with us, as far as that narrative success? >> i know literally pictures we have five graphics by my brother, who kippen called the climate archivists, artist and activist, but there's also very rich stories by a number of people in the book. so michaela jefferson, a young black organizer who was with the sunrise movement talks about or

kennedy, rachel carson, richard nixon, and the great environmental awakening.d to have you here. i'm sorry we're talking about this, doug. you and i ran into each other last week and had a little conversation. look, you have written for years and years about conservation and about climate. so let me just ask you a big picture question to start. as someone who has lived in this world essentially, when you look at what's happening in hawaii, what do you see, doug? >> another wildfire in the hottest summer on record. we had fires ripping through europe, horrific ones this summer. western canada has been hit. last summer, a historic wildfires in california. we are living in the age of climate change, and our, you know -- the fact of the matter is the amount of drought, dry weather, heat fueled this. so i feel that president biden needs to call hawaii a climate emergency. we're always careful not to -- and i wrote about hurricane katrina, and i didn't call it a climate emergency, but it's clear there's so much thing as climate denying. we have a national security gl

rachel carson talked about it. we see a world unimaginably change in 50 years.it will be changed again in 50 years depending on what we do now, which is why as an activist, we are committed to fighting for the best case scenario and trying to push back the worst-case scenario. we at least for this evening, it is definitely investigating these stories. and how we can change the narrative. and what those might be. i think that having the artists help us with our imagination, creating new pictures, are there pictures in that book? are their stories? is it something that you would especially like to share with us and story with us? with the success? >> we have five graphics by my brother who built mckibbin today, called the climate movements with above artists and activists. but there is also very rich stories by a number of people in the book. so mckayla jefferson, who is a young climate organizer who was with the sunrise movement talks about organizing a climate hunger strike, and how deeply distressing it was to watch these people who were close to starve themsel

i'm a year older than rachel carson's silent spring. people thought the cold war would last forever. and then the same age as the berlin wall. not to anchor it all on me, but even in the summer of 1989, people didn't think that the eastern bloc countries and the berlin wall and the soviet union, a couple years later, would collapse. and that finer organization of the world would cease to be what it had been. and of course, speaking of binary, we think about gender and sexuality. that's changed radically in our time. what we think about food and nature has changed. all the stories are changing. we are also living through a huge pushback from right-wing white supremacist neo-fascists and authoritarians who don't like the radical equality that is part of the new stories, the new values, the new we story. we are in a story battle. what should we tell now, who should survive, what story should survive? the conflict is pretty intense right now, but i think in many ways we've already won, and what we're seeing mostly is backlash. i don't know
