We Generate Political Will for a Livable World
Why lobby on Capitol Hill? The Harper Government has shown us through their actions and in writing that they are intent on aligning Canada's climate and energy policies with the USA's policies. Our Keynote Speakers will be Dr. Shi-ling Hsu, The Case for Carbon Tax and Dr. James Hansen, Storms of My Grandchildren. In this video, Dr. Hansen explains why he must speak out about climate change:
"Most impressive is the work of the Citizens Climate Lobby, a relatively new, fastgrowing, nonpartisan, nonprofit group with 35 chapters* across the United States and Canada. If you want to join the fight to save the planet, to save creation for your grandchildren, there is no more effective step you could take than becoming an active member of this group.”
- Dr. James Hansen, Director of Goddard Institute for Space Studies, NASA
*Currently there are 95 chapters of CCL in North America

400 ppms! The Keeling Curve and Speaking the Issues
On the June call, we’ll have an abbreviated educational section, with Dr. Lauren Rafelski from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography explaining the Keeling Curve and the 400 parts per million milestone that was passed last month. The rest of the call will be devoted to an essential activity that few of us take the time to do: practicing our speaking so that we become fluent in communicating all the issues that are critical to our success as climate advocates.
Margaret Mead said to her friend Jean Houston:
“Forget everything I have been teaching you about governments and bureaucracies. If we are to survive and create the world we could have—it’s a question of citizens’ volunteer groups; citizens getting together, deepening, growing, expanding their capacities, and then going out and making a difference.”
