Largest Teach-in on Climate and Global Warming in U.S. History

Yesterday was the largest national teach-in on climate and global warming in U.S. history.  The Focus the Nation Team estimates that 3 million people participated at some 1,800 institutions across America.

This response would have seemed beyond possibility even two years ago. But is happened! -- There were seminars -- editorial visits -- classes -- labs -- letter campaigns -- email blitzes -- films -- rallies -- art shows -- concerts -- tabling events -- poster sessions -- petitions and more. The reports will be coming in for weeks.

A bipartisan group of nearly one third of U.S. Governors -- 20% of U.S. Senators -- 10% of the House membership -- participated directly as speakers along with many state and local officials.

And there are many more people -- future leaders -- better informed on global warming and what needs to be done today than there were yesterday morning at this time.
