The amazing folk singer Utah Phillips once said that “The earth is not dying, she is being killed and those who are killing her have addresses and names”. In this broadcast you will hear some of these names, researched by Jeffrey St. Clair whose new book is entitled: Been brown so long it looked like green to me. And, as we look closer, we see that the destruction of the environment is a bi-partisan effort.
St. Clair says that the title of his new book is a metaphor for our time. The book describes the grand awakening of the environmentalists during the Clinton years. They survived the nightmare of Reagan and Bush and their unremitting hostility to the environment. And here come Clinton and Gore, – Gore, who proclaimed the environment as the defining issue of our time. Hopes were high – this was going to be the promised green age. But by all accounts the Clinton years were worse than Bush Sr. and Reagan.
