Hi All,
I've been asked to organize a major lecture/campus event on climate
change next fall (Connecticut College) - and I'm looking for
recommendations on speakers (probably non-academic) who can really
connect with the whole student body. Any suggestions? Has anyone
checked into possib
Jane,
We've had Stephen Schneider from Stanford University and Caleb
Pungowiyi, a Yupik Eskimo Elder who speaks eloquently about living on
the front lines of climate change. Both were good speakers and big draws
and both would be within your budget. Schneider is academic, though.
James Hansen o
Should have sent this to the list. Rest of you might be interested in this

Some of the NGO climate specialists are excellent speakers -- Outfits like
NRDC, WRI, Greenpeace, Environmentaldefense, Pew and so on all have climate
specialists who are accustomed to dealing with the public. You might bring up
a panel, and spice it up with Myron Ebell.

Hi Jane-
I wonder if Andrew Revkin Science writer for the NYTimes would be available -
he also has a recently published book: The North Pole Was Here - I haven't read
the book, but have read many of his articles written for the Times and have
comunicated with him via email on climate change is
Robert Watson, the former Chair of the IPCC, is my pick.
Bio below. Mostly focuses on the science elements. Very good speaker and
great with students!

OO, yes, great idea. He uses wonderful slides (no words, just images) and
could reach any audience. I heard him about seven years ago at the ESSD and
still remember it well.

Jane,
If your campus isn't already signed up for Focus the Nation, the
nationwide teach-in, you can get Eban Goodstein, the organizer, for
free. He's an economist at Lewis & Clark College. Eban can also
help you get a higher visibility person. I've liked what Tom
Friedman of the NY Tim
Seconded. We've had Eban to campus, and he's an excellent speaker. He
doesn't have the name recognition of some of the others, but Focus the
Nation is an important grassroots effort worthy of support and if you're
not already involved, it's a perfect tie-in to any campus climate
change-related acti

I second the recommendation of someone from the NGO sector. David Doniger at
NRDC would be a very good choice. Or, if you want to get outside of the
"Gore theme," you might consider someone who is working in the emerging
field of climate change litigation. For example, Kassie Siegel
Hi Jane & All,
In addition to your keynote speaker, you might consider having a presenter
from The Climate Project offer the slide show that the Inconvenient Truth
was based on.There are approximately 1000 of us who have been trained in
Nashville by Al Gore. We have the software, and we are lo
Eileen Claussen from Pew is a good speaker and seems to be able to adapt to a
variety of audiences.

Ought to mention that I¹m one of the 1000 Climate Presenters that Katey
Gordon mentioned and I¹m just down the road from CC. Be happy to do a talk
at any time (or at any other of your institutions within striking distance
of New Haven.

I am struck--and I hope I have not missed anything here--by the lack of
anything about agriculture and the environment. Is that a considered judgment

First of all - Beth, thanks for undertaking this challenge, and to everyone
who has chimed in.
Now, two things strike me too - maybe David had already covered them in his
rather exciting clustering exercise.

At the risk of making the list too long, I suggest adding animal

I believe that George Bush senior's phrase was:
