Chelsea Henderson

Chelsea Henderson is the author of Glacial: The Inside Story of Climate Politics. Based on scores of interviews with key players and research spanning the six decades since climate change was first elevated to a president’s attention as a global catastrophe in the making, Chelsea wrote GLACIAL inspired by those stakeholders who work year after year, decade after decade, to enact comprehensive climate change legislation.

With more than twenty-five years of experience striking bipartisan compromise on federal energy and environmental policy, Chelsea has worked on and off Capitol Hill with lawmakers, administration officials, and a broad array of stakeholders from the regulated community to environmentalists. She currently hosts the podcast the EcoRight Speaks and also freelance writes on the topics of clean energy and climate change.

A graduate of Boston University’s College of Liberal Arts (B.A.) and School of Education (M.Ed.), she hails from Maine and resides in Maryland, where she occasionally still feeds and gets visits from her two college-aged sons.
