 Donald Braman |  David Arkush |
Donald Braman and David Arkush. Donald Braman teaches criminal law and evidence at George Washington University and has a PhD in anthropology in addition to his law degree. David Arkush is the director of Public Citizen’s Climate Program and a fellow at the Roosevelt Institute; he is an expert on the climate crisis, financial regulation, regulatory law and policy, as well as consumer and worker protection. They discuss a new legal theory, “climate homicide.” This theory, about holding big oil criminally liable for killing people, is explored in an upcoming Harvard Environmental Law Review article.
Richard Frank is Professor of Environmental Practice and Director of the U. C. Davis School of Law’s California Environmental Law & Policy Center. Because the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up numerous cases in which state and local governments have sued oil, gas and coal companies, these lawsuits are heading back to state courts for resolution on their merits. The governments are seeking compensation for climate change-related damage. Professor Frank will talk about what happens next, as well as other trends in national environmental law cases.

Although cancer is as old as the human species, lately preventable causes of cancer due to man-made toxins have increased its incidence. Recent toxicity from train derailments and chemical spills in our waterways have made these dangers more salient. What do we know about this epidemic and how to address it
Kristina Marusic is an award-winning reporter. Currently, she reports for Environmental Health News and is an author of a forthcoming book on cancer caused chemical exposure. This is Part II of our interview with her. In this excerpt, she talks about our increasing exposure to cancer causing chemicals and how to rid our lives of them.
Debra Erenberg is the Strategic Director of the Cancer Free Economy Network. This is a multi-sector network collaboration to promote healthy environments. She discusses the concept of a cancer free economy and how we might achieve that goal.
