  Kay, Here's the connect to ONE DEGREE    http://climate.weather.com/?from=footer

  Bob and I applied for the Gore training.  We were not chosen in the first round and didn't apply for round 2 (didn't fit with our schedule)  

  After reading the newsletter of that site, I found out that many decision-makers and persons of influence were chosen for the first two rounds (more than 2000 applied!)  For instance, the assistant County Manager of a county in Washington was chosen, attended, and now has been doing presentations throughout that state.

  Also, now, I believe that they are not going to do any more training.  They have switched strategies.  They are encouraging people to purchase the DVD (or I think they will send you one free, if you commit to two presentations), and hold meetings.  I believe that in December, they chose ONE date and encouraged people to hold meetings then; I believe they did an internet link up at that time.  Yeah a new MOVEMENT!!

  Our county has a major taskforce preparing for global change (since 2000); they are already expecting and looking for ways to stall salt water intrusion into our water systems and other things -- looking ahead 40 years.  In Broward county, 11 cities have now signed the Kyoto protocol.  I thought of working on this in Miami-Dade County, but decided that the County was leading the way.  Many things are happening.  Here are some websites to check out:

  Purchase the film at:  http://an-inconvenient-truth.com


   

  Mayor of Seattle convinces 232 mayors to sign the Kyoto Treaty and to take action:  http://www.seattle.gov/mayor/climate/  

   

  Two good documents: (take it to your local mayor so he/she can get started)

   

  -- Seattle’s Action Plan: Exec. Summary:  http://www.seattle.gov/climate/docs/SeaCAP_summary.pdf

   

  -- Portland’s Action Plan: (very impressive)         http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm?id=112118

   

  Miami-Dade County:  Already a taskforce of scientists, engineers etc. are preparing for the worst http://www.p2.org/summit2004/documents/Presentations/Hefty%20handout%201.doc

   


  What You can Do:  Low, Medium and High Cost Energy Savings:  (a good handout that could be used after a presentation, spurring individuals and families to create their action plan and become “carbon neutral”)

   

  http://magazine.audubon.org/features0609/pdf/GlobalWarming_pullout.pdf

   

  Last night on PBS Bob saw "The Last Days on Earth"  According to it -- if Greenland melts, the seas will go up 20 feet; if Antartica melts, it'll go up another 20 feet.  (These are the most extreme consequences acc. to their alogarithms) (sp?). Either way, say good bye to the polar bears and all the penquins on Planet Earth.  No more HappyFeet.

   

  Cynthia

    Cynthia N. Vance,
    Please guide me to the One Degree organization, or web page, or business.
    I am also interested in who, if any one, in Arizona participated in the "Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore training and commitment to do 100 seminars.  How could I find this list of people.
    Cynthia, did you participated in the "Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore training. I saw the DVD of this movie, and I have seen the movie two times, last years.  I am want to learn more & do more about the global warming solutions.
