The Frontline special “Heat” airs Tuesday night on PBS.  Frontline, which consistently puts together fantastic in-depth programming, is looking at the causes and responses to climate change from both the public and private sectors. 

Here is the official description of the program:

“For years, big business–from oil and coal companies to electric utilities to car manufacturers–has resisted change to environmental policy and stifled the debate over climate change in America and around the globe. Now, facing rising pressure from governments, green groups and investors alike, big business is reshaping its approach to the environment. With the election looming, FRONTLINE producer Martin Smith investigates what some businesses are doing to fend off new regulations and how others are repositioning themselves to prosper in a radically changed world.”

How to ForceChange: check out Heat on PBS tonight– It airs from 9-11pm in most locations. It sounds like they are going to identify where our public and private leadership is failing on this issue.
