How 9/11 Changed EVERYTHING About US Climate Policy

Did 9/11 ruin climate policy in the US? Yes...well, and Ronald Reagan, of course. Let's talk about climate change policy in the US over the years and how it went from a nonpartisan to a bipartisan issue in just a few decades and how the final wedge was hammered in during 9/11. If you love 9/11 history, global politics, and environmentalism, this is your perfect niche. Maybe it's just my perfect niche. I hope you enjoy this wacky video!
