On April 3, 1980, Walter Cronkite introduced this report on climate change featuring Sen. Paul Tsongas. With the benefit of hindsight, the only thing that seems inaccurate is the time-frame. While the reporter warns a climate crisis could be upon us in “50 to 70 years,” just 34 years later a new IPCC report documents how we’re already seeing rapid climate changes threatening our water & food supplies and worsening extreme weather.

I miss Paul Tsongas. He was a man of great heart, willing to put himself out there. He was the last MA Senator I know of who had regular town meetings with his constituents. I didn’t always agree with him but always respected him.
Hey, Senators Warren and Markey, please bring back those town meetings. Emulate Paul Tsongas.
