“Continued growth of greenhouse gas emissions, for just another decade, practically eliminates the possibility of near-term return of atmospheric composition beneath the tipping level for catastrophic effects.” — Hansen et al. 2008
We stand at a unique moment in human history. The window for action on global warming is measured in months, not years. Decisions that we make—or fail to make—in 2009 will have profound impacts not only for our children and grandchildren, but for every human being that will ever inhabit the face of this earth from now until the end of time.
We need your help enlisting thousands of colleges, universities, high-schools, middle schools, faith groups, civic organizations and businesses. Sign up today to organize an educational event at your institution. Help ignite the grassroots movement during the First 100 Days that can change the country, and the future.
THE NATIONAL TEACH-IN ON GLOBAL WARMING Solutions
On January 31st, 2008 (“Focus the Nation”) and February 9th, 2009 (“Solutions for the First 100 Days”) we organized national days of engagement, involving over 2500 educational institutions and a million Americans. This year, The National Teach-In is supporting four opportunities to engage your school or community in critical climate dialogue.
CLIMATE SEMINAR
The National Climate Seminar: Bi-weekly education and action updates featuring top climate scientists and policy-makers. Dial-in with your class, or on your own.
350 TEACH-IN: October 22, 2009
350 Teach-In: Be part of the international day of action with a campus-wide session on the ethics, economics, science, politics, and spiritual dimensions of a one hundred year global goal: stopping global warming. We have a model and resources to make this easy.
CLIMATE DIALOGUE WITH CONGRESS
Climate Dialogue with Congress: Brief your US Senator or Congressperson on what your campus or community is doing to stop global warming. Work with the national teach-in to sponsor a video dialogue from an auditorium on your campus to their desk in DC.
SIGNS OF CHANGE TEACH-IN - February 11, 2010
Signs of Change Teach-In: Post-Copenhagen—where do we stand? Another opportunity for a campus-wide session, this time recognizing the speed of climate change, and evaluating progress. The US, Europeans, Chinese, Koreans have all moved fowards. Will it be enough?
