Andrew Revkin 
Drawing on insights from his book Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal, our featured guest, Professor Noam Chomsky, will explore paths to climate progress on an overheating and starkly unequal planet with fresh assessments from Columbia Climate School’s Jeff Schlegelmilch, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness and Dr. Belinda Archibong, a Barnard College economist focused on African development and perspectives on climate and energy policy. The session will be hosted by longtime climate journalist Andy Revkin, the founding director of the Initiative on Communication & Sustainability of the Columbia Climate School. Student nominated representatives from Teachers College will have an opportunity to engage the panel with their questions on climate action and learning.

Great discussion… Chomsky nails it right off the top. 5 or 6 mins in. Thanks
It is indeed disconcerting that 30 years after the end of apartheid, such segregation is becoming socially acceptable again and is supported, if not encouraged, by most of the left (and Right) movement and other people that consider themselves “open and tolerant” like Noam Chomsky. Racial apartheid and any social segregation are rightly demonized. Health apartheid, however, is appropriate as those who have legitimate concerns about the still experimental vaccines are considered a potential danger to public health. The same group of people also adorn themselves with the claim that they are the ones who listen to science. However, this assumption is based on a misconception, as they assume that the scientists who are in the media spotlight are unbiased.
The breeding ground of this misconception is again the mainstream media, as they mainly present biased scientists, many of whom are funded by Big Pharma or “philanthropic” organizations such as the Gates Foundation or the Wellcome Trust.
