Dear friends and Colleagues,

The National Climate Seminar is back with a great spring line-up! On 1/27, join noted ecologist Dr. Bill Schlesinger on “The Ecology of a Hotter Planet”. The following week, on 2/3, physicist turned journalist Joe Romm will focus on “Senate Action: Yes or No?”. Later in the term: Kristen Sheerhan on “Economics and Climate Equity”; NWF's Larry Schweiger on his new book, “Last Chance: Preserving Life on Earth”; Clif Bar Sustainability Director Elysa Hammond, journalist Ross Gelbspan; and yes, even, The Yes Men.

Calls are usually the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 3 PM eastern; more details here. Send questions in advance to cli...@bard.edu.

In the meantime, remember that you can help us organize statewide conference calls with your US Senate offices this spring. We need to get 500 people on the line each from Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, Nevada and 46 other states—to have a real conversation with Senate staff about the urgent need for action on climate. The Bard Center for Environmental Policy will do all the work setting up the calls, but we need your help getting the word out. To learn what you can do, give me a call at 845-758-8067, or e-mail us at cli...@bard.edu.

Thanks for the work you are doing.

Professor Eban Goodstein

Director, National Teach-In on Global Warming
