Talking Points on Global Warming

There's a lot of action brewing on global warming in Washington this spring, from the EPA's move to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to President Obama's push for a clean energy policy that creates jobs and boosts the economy.

But could you succinctly explain what's happening to your neighbor or co-worker? Or refute some of the arguments of opposition groups?

Have no fear. We've got talking points on global warming, rebuttals to opponents of clean energy legislation, simple statements about the EPA endangerment findings, and a Q and A.

For example, did you know that according to a study from the University of Massachusetts, investments in wind and solar create 3 times more jobs as the same investment in coal, and similar investments in mass transit and conservation would generate 4 times more jobs as coal.

Find out more in Talking Points: Curbing Carbon.

Because it's always easier to sound like you know what you're talking about when you actually do know.

Bio-Fuel.....

 

In January of this year, at a meeting of the Engineers Club of Sun City, Arizona, A.P.S. ( the local power company) gave a presentation in which they explained their plans to build such a plant south of Phoenix  They were very upbeat about it's possibilities.                         If you watch this video, pay particular attention to the very last statement made by the spokesman click here                            Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel!-----   This is the turn-off at Banff, Alberta, Canada to the #1 highway to Calgary.  If you look closely, you'll see animals crossing over the highway. They had to build the animals (especially the elk) their own bridge because that was originally where their natural crossing was.  After the highway was built there were far too many animals killed. It didn't take the animals long to learn that this was their very own bridge! And you have some people who say 'Animals are stupid'.  Oh really....?  Let's advocate to give animals save passage.

Regular meeting dates:               

Wed., August 5,  7pm    

   TBA
