The National Academy of Science is convening a two-day summit on March 30 and 31 on climate change.
The stage is about to be set for a national plan of action, whereby citizens across the country can participate. The Committee on America's Climate Choices will issue a detailed report in 2010.
Four panels will be set up to address four specific areas, which will include mitigation and adaptation strategies, climate change and the interaction on ecological systems and for me, most important, how to go about “informing” effective decision making and concrete action.
Individuals are invited to submit questions and content to the specific panels. For detailed information go to America's Climate.
You will also be able to watch a live video webcast of the event by going to National Academy.
While we Americans have wasted a great deal of time over the past several years wallowing in denial and being bombarded by deliberate falsehoods as well as incredible misunderstanding, we now have an opportunity to reverse a great deal of nonsense and make our voices heard. This is not an issue separate and apart from our financial meltdown.
