The Daily Green recently had the opportunity to interview Christine Todd Whitman, former New Jersey governor and the first Environmental Protection Agency administrator in the George W. Bush Administration. As EPA Administrator, Whitman was perhaps best known for pushing for stronger climate change policies than the White House would support, and for ordering the long-delayed cleanup of the Hudson River in New York.

Today, Whitman is working with American Security Project's Pay Now, Pay Later project, focusing attention on the costs of climate change, and the need for communities across the U.S. to prepare for extreme weather and other consequences of global warming.

Watch the interview, and see what Whitman has to say about climate change and the recent spate of killer tornadoes in the American South:
