Prof. Richard Lazarus of Harvard’s Law School spends 6:30 describing how unlikely it seems that climate change legislation will become law, and then spends the remaining time discussing how to overcome the barriers that prevent the law from being enacted.

It seems as though the GSA’s need for more space could be met using Metro-owned land and employees could benefit from convenient – and green – transit options.
