Free Lecture & Discussion

The debate is over. Global warming is already occurring and without significant action to reduce carbon emissions within the next decade, scientists predict that the consequences could be severe and potentially irreversible. Our dependence on fossil fuels is transforming the planet. The Earth has already warmed and there is now more carbon pollution in the atmosphere than at any point in 650,000 years.  If we do nothing, the Earth could warm by several degrees more.

The Iowa Global Warming Campaign, a broad, bi-partisan group of organizations, seeks your help to dramatically raise awareness of this issue in the Iowa Presidential caucuses.  Our vision is for presidential candidates, both Democrats and Republicans, to discuss publicly, frequently and specifically how they will address global warming, and pledge that they make that plan a top priority.

Mike Carberry of the Iowa Global Warming Campaign http://www.iowaglobalwarming.org will present the work of the campaign and lead a discussion focusing on what we can do about this urgent issue.
