Monday, we analyze President Obama’s record on climate change and his administration’s response to the mass protest in opposition to the proposed Canadian Tar Sands pipeline. (Program sponsored by Ames Smart Growth Alliance.)

Tuesday, we discuss bicycling as transportation. Recreational trails are great, but driving one’s car to the trail head for a casual ride does nothing to reduce carbon emissions. (Program sponsored by Des Moines Moving Planet Bike Rally Organizing Committee.)

Wednesday, we compare and contrast the Republican presidential candidates’ positions and statements on climate change. (Program sponsored by Soul-Flower.)

So, tune in at 98.3 WOW-FM and online. You can download the Fallon Forum as a podcast, too.  And don’t forget to visit The Fallon Forum website at fallonforum.com.  Thanks!
