Recommendations for CC Speakers?

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

RE: Recommendations for CC Speakers?

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

RE: Recommendations for CC Speakers?

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. Judy Shapiro American

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! j -- Joseph Domask Assistant Professor and Academic Director International Environment & Development Washington Semester Program American Unive

Re: Recommendations - cc - Bob Watson

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. Judy -- Original message -- From: "Joseph Domask" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Robert Watson,

Re: Recommendations for CC Speakers?

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

RE: Recommendations for CC Speakers?

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

RE: Recommendations for CC Speakers?

Dr. Wil Burns 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

RE: Recommendations - cc - Bob Watson

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

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. a). I did not seem to see anything on commons management or global public goods. Giv
