Global Warming
National Volunteer Speakers Network
Our National Volunteer Speakers Network includes
over 250 citizens in more than 33 states available to speak at no charge about
global warming pollution, climate change policy and the path to a clean energy
future.
Over the last three years,
our speakers have given nearly 1000 talks on college
campuses, talk radio, at businesses, community centers,
congregations and retirement communities, reaching more than
20,000 people.
Members of the National Volunteer Speakers
Network range from engineers to songwriters, from college professors to business
people. They are united by a belief that global warming pollution presents a
very real and present danger to the health of the planet's human populations and
natural ecosystems, and that the United States needs to take immediate steps to
reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses.
A few of our speakers are
climate experts; the remainder are educated citizens. All
are committed to promoting open discussion and debate about
global warming pollution policy in our country.

warming through education and action. If you wish to become a part of the
speakers network or would like a speaker to talk at your school, community
center, church, or business, please contact us at

The impact of the Climate Education Project is
national in scope yet touches people on a very personal level to join the clean
energy revolution. Please read the letter below written by a student at Spokane
Community College to Julian Powers, one of our amazing speakers, after he gave a
talk. It is a testimony to the incredible effect that these presentations have
on individuals.
Dear Mr. Powers,
I was in Dr. Cosby's class when you gave your speech
on Global Warming. I had prior to your talk not known much about the subject.
You did a very good job of explaining the problem. I just wanted to thank you. I
am very disturbed and confused. It seems to me and you answered this question
when I asked that we are doomed. I was contemplating your figures and it seems
to me that we are headed for a lot of trouble, wars could be started for
resources, big migration shifts of people to better climates and so on. I'm very
scared and I feel that in my lifetime (I'm 22) my generation will be dealing
with the very things you talk about. I have a very strong feeling that this is
coming and there is no way of stopping it.
In my opinion your are like Noah of bible. I'm not
religious but in that story he told every one there was a flood coming and no
one believed him. You are telling people this is going to happen. And I believe
you 100%. After your presentation it is as plain as day to me that what you say
is true. I will try to carry on this message but I think it's to late and people
can be very ignorant. This has been on my mind since your talk. Please keep
talking to classes because you touched me and hopefully you will touch others.
Thank you again.
