A chat with New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza about climate in the Senate
This month, The New Yorker ran an extraordinary 10,000-word piece by reporter Ryan Lizza detailing the climate bill's slow and inglorious failure in the U.S. Senate.

I'm very pleased to report that Lizza will be stopping by for a chat with Grist readers and me TODAY at 2 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Pacific.
