Misinformation, double-dealing, character assassination – lobbyist Don Pearlman will stop at nothing to prevent the world from agreeing to cut carbon emissions. This arch disrupter, who works for fossil fuel companies and oil-producing nations, is determined that the climate talks in Kyoto, COP3, will fail. Will Don’s methods succeed, and what will it mean for the future of the planet?
Tim is joined by playwright Joe Robertson to discuss Kyoto, the political thriller he and co-writer Joe Murphy based on 1997’s international climate negotiations.
Kyoto is currently on stage at the Lincoln Center in New York.
