National Climate Seminar
The fall of 2009 is a landmark time in human history. Decisions that we will make—or not make—both in Washington, DC and in Copenhagen, Denmark will have profound impacts not only on our own lives, and the lives of our children, but in fact, for every human being alive for the next five thousand generations. Will we, this year, establish the architecture that can rewire the entire planet with clean energy, slow and reverse deforestation, help lift billions of people out of poverty, and stabilize the global climate?
