Climate One conversations come to KRCB-TV
We are pleased and proud to announce that
KRCB’s collaboration with the Common-
wealth Club of California in their Climate
One program, which began on radio last
summer, expands to television this month.
In keeping with the Club’s illustrious history,
they are now hosting thoughtful and important conversations focused on climate change
every week. These are recorded, and then move to our air.
Since July, we have carried these debates and discussions on KRCB- FM, on Thursday
evenings at 7 pm. (See the listings for December radio broadcasts below). Our first television
broadcast was November 29,when Chevron CEO Dave O’Reilly and Sierra Club Executive
Director Carl Pope met for the first time ever to discuss powering America’s future. We’ll
continue this new television “tradition” on Sunday, December 20 at 11 am with Stanford
University’s provocative Professor of Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies, Stephen
Schneider, as he reminds us of the importance of research in moving towards a greener
economy. The hour is rounded out with Professor David Orr of Oberlin talking about the
rise of the green city.
KRCB is in discussion with the Commonwealth Club about wider distribution of this
series to help meet the need for trusted information in the climate discussion.
KRCB-FM’s Climate One radio broadcasts for the month will feature these subjects
and speakers:
Thursday Dec. 3 at 7 pm – Saving Civilization is Not a Spectator Sport
With Lester Brown, President of the Earth Policy Institute.
Thursday, Dec. 10 at 7 pm – On The Road to Copenhagen
With Tim Flannery, Chairman of the Copenhagen Climate Council and author of Now
or Never: Why We Must Act Now to End Climate Change and Create a Sustainable Future.
Thursday, Dec. 17 at 7 pm –What’s Science Got to Do with Climate Change?
With Stephen Schneider, Professor of Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies at
Stanford University.

KRCB in the community
Go Green with KRCB
Like many other environmentally aware organizations, KRCB is
doing our part to preserve the environment. We began with a
recycling program in our offices and studios, expanded to the
production of the nationally distributed, award-winning program
Natural Heroes, and continued with the replacement of KRCB’s
landscaping to help conserve water.
Now we are asking you, our members, to join with us. If you already
regularly communicate with us through e-mail or regularly renew your membership
online, what could be more natural than extending those activities to include getting your
Open Air online at KRCB.org
Right now, KRCB mails out 6000-plus paper copies of Open Air each month; you can
imagine how much energy and precious planetary resources that requires. To reduce this
environmental footprint, we will be curtailing these mailings by as many individual copies
as possible. You can opt out now, by phone or by email, but after January, if you wish to
continue getting Open Air by mail, you’ll have to tell us that. Otherwise, we are asking you
to forgo your paper copy of Open Air in favor of the online version.
Right now, you can see how convenient it is to get a copy of the current Open Air by
going to www.krcb.org/openair. You can also go directly to www.krcb.org and look for the
Open Air links in the upper right of the KRCB home page. Once there, you can download
or print a copy of our monthly KRCB program guide. Please take this opportunity to help
KRCB Go Green by accessing your copy of Open Air on line today.
KRCB, your community, and your planet will thank you.
Dear Member,
December brings two local productions to the air, both a result of partnerships with
strong community organizations.
The partnership with Climate One, a project of the Commonwealth Club, is described
on page 3. We here at KRCB believe that the information presented in this series is
critical to our understanding of the debates on climate change issues. Too often
commercial media presents “information” in an hysterical, misleading, dis-information
style, as fed to them by special interest groups. You will find on KRCB Television and
Radio just the opposite —the information you need to understand the range of the
debate and to make up your own mind.
Another wonderful partnership continues to grow with Community Action Partner-
ship (CAP) of Sonoma County. On December 28, catch the special
produced by CAP teen leaders along with KRCB’s Voice of Youth
team. Our young citizen journalists wanted to examine the impact of
the economic crisis, close to home. Not only did the teens learn all
aspects of video production (and you will be able to see their work),
but we are consciously involving these youth in difficult community
issues which we must all solve together. That is the stuff of great
community collaboration and you help make it happen.
Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season.
Sincerely,
Nancy Dobbs
President and CEO

NOVA: Darwin’s Darkest Hour
This program tells the story of the extraordinary human
drama that led to the birth of the most influential scientific
theory of all time. Acclaimed screenwriter John Goldsmith
brings to life Charles Darwin’s greatest personal crisis: the
anguished decision over whether to “go public” with his
theory of evolution. Darwin, portrayed by Henry Ian Cusick
(Lost), spent years refining his ideas and penning his “Big
Book,” On the Origin of Species. Yet, daunted by looming
conflict with the orthodox religious values of his day, he
resisted publishing—until a letter from naturalist Alfred
Wallace forced his hand. In 1858, Darwin learned that
Wallace was on the brink of publishing ideas very similar to
his own. In a sickened panic, Darwin grasped his dilemma:
To delay publishing any longer would be to condemn all of his work to obscurity—his
voyage on the Beagle, his adventures in the Andes, the gauchos and bizarre fossils of
Patagonia, the finches and giant tortoises of the Galapagos. But to come forward with his
ideas risked the fury of the Church and perhaps a rift with his own devoted wife, Emma,
(portrayed by Frances O’Connor,) who clung to a devout, orthodox view of creation. This
program is a moving drama about the birth of a great idea seen through the inspiration and
personal sufferings of its brilliant originator. Monday, December 21 at 8 pm

together.
