Is the Sky Falling in 2010? Environmental Politics Predictions From the Gang of Four [Podcast]

earth_and_industry_2010 predictionsWhat a difference a year makes.  LiveOAK Executive Editor Tim Hurst and contributors Maria Surma Manka, Jeff McIntire-Strasburg and I got together for another “Gang of Four” podcast on Earth & Industry Radio. While Jeff seems the most upbeat of all of us – he says 2010 will be the year of Green Jobs – I have to say none of us are terribly positive about what’s going to happen this year in environmental policy and communications.  We’re focusing on some of the serious challenges environmentalists (and the PR flacks who love them) face in a difficult political and economic climate. Hey, blame Tim – predictions were his idea.

The good news is we’ll be back soon with a (hopefully) upbeat discussion about what our side can do to recapture the political and communications momentum from a few years ago.  Stay tuned for more by subscribing to this podcast.
