  • 'Carbon Overload' an additional term for global warming?

    1. Do you think use of the term 'carbon overload' would help people understand global warming?

    2. Would it help the public support action to stop 'carbon overload' if they remembered that 280 parts per million of CO2 is normal, and that the current level is 390 ppm, increasing 2 ppm/year?

    3. Some people hate numbers. What analogies could we use to help illustrate 'carbon overload' /global warming?'

    Thanks for your ideas.

  • Climate protection pitch?

    You are in an elevator with a congressman who has a low record of voting for environmental protection, has no academic background in science, but is not from a state that has lots of fossil fuel and has occasionally been known to vote independently.

    You have 2 minutes to convince him/her to take another look at legislation that reduces subsidies for fossil fuel and supports clean energy. What will you say?
