With another round of international climate talks underway in Cancun, we'll talk about what a survey says Americans believe about climate change. A recent survey found that found that 63 percent of Americans believe that global warming is happening, but many do not understand why. We'll find out more.

We'll also talk with outgoing Representative Bob Inglis, Republican of South Carolina, about climate policy and Congressional politics. Inglis is a departing member of the House Science and Technology Committee, which recently held a hearing entitled "A Rational Discussion of Climate Change: the Science, the Evidence, the Response."
