Description
The lead character in the story of carbon is a gas that is invisible and has no smell. The impacts of that gas are often thought to fall first on polar bears and people in faraway lands, in a time far into the future. While human creation of carbon pollution may be hitting closer to home faster than many think, there is still a dearth of compelling narratives about how global warming affects the lives of average people.Environmentalists and organizations such as Climate One spew an abundance of facts, charts, policies and technologies. Are those awakening and activating the persuadable mainstream who are disengaged, indifferent or dismissive about climate change? Join an evening with skilled story tellers for a look at the story of our times.
