gave a lecture as part of the Lannan Foundation In Pursuit of Cultural
Freedom series about our environment and climate change. Subhankar

Point*<

introduced Hansen and engaged in a conversation with him. Banerjee and
Hansen spoke of the "non-human" communities that we are wiping out because
of oil drilling, global warming, and climate change, which is often times
overlooked in mainstream media and government. They also touched upon clean
energy, new fuel sources, the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, and what it
means to our daily life and our planet's future.
