Central Ohio Relocalization Effort (CORE), Columbus, Ohio

Folks,

We are lucky enough to have speaker in our community that was trained by the Al Gore team. Here are the details:

Synopsis of presentation, "The Climate Crisis: Time to Rise" Through the medium of a Power Point (Keynote) presentation, Robinson outlines 1) the basic science of global warming, 2) the emerging signs and potential dangers of climate change, 3) a description of the factors that are combining to cause the problem, and 4) a basic exploration of the technological, social, and moral resources available to successfully meet this challenge. Based on the presentation delivered by Al Gore in “An Inconvenient Truth,” additional up-to-date information is provided regarding both the science of current climate change and steps being taken—political, commercial, and technological—to address the problem. The specific emphasis and content of message may be tailored for specific audiences, e.g., business/commerce, governmental, faith-based, etc. Time of presentation is variable, from 30 to 90 minutes (with additional time for discussion), depending on the venue and audience. Being a public service, there is no charge for the presentation.
