We Need to Save Planet Earth Now, Says Historian

After a year of climate catastrophes, we take a look at the history of environmental activism in America. In his new book "Silent Spring Revolution," Douglas Brinkley calls attention to the climate change movement by tracing the work of pioneering environmental activists in the 1960s. He joins Walter Isaacson to discuss this environmental awakening.
