Bill Moyers Journal : Global Warming and Capitol Hill / Workplace Safety

Infobase, (film distributor.). Public Affairs Television (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: Since becoming the chairperson of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has battled to put global warming at the top of the Congressional priority list. In this program, Senator Boxer sits down with Bill Moyers to talk about the state of the environment, policies she thinks could help clean up the Earth, and the opposition to her measures. Then, the Journal and Exposé: America's Investigative Reports go inside America's poultry industry to show the reality of working conditions and to investigate how official statistics showing a drop in workplace injuries may have been the result of deceptive reporting. A Bill Moyers essay on oil and the war in Iraq wraps up the program.
