The American public and news media often seems to delight in a public figures' fall from grace -- whether it's Senator Larry Craig's or quarterback Michael Vick. But amid sweeping condemnations, civic dialogue can sometimes turn nasty and hypocritical. Howard Ross joins Kojo to explore what "the court of public opinion" says about us -- the public.

If you had an extra $50 million to spend on the world's problems, where would you spend it -- to stop global warming, fight the spread of HIV/AIDS, combat malnutrition or something else? A few years back, Danish business professor Bjorn Lomborg created a firestorm of controversy when he suggested that efforts to combat global warming don't always return the biggest bang for our collective buck. He joins Kojo to explain.
Bjorn Lomborg, Professor, Copenhagen Business School; Director of The Copenhagen Consensus Center; and author of "Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming" (Knopf)
