Global Work Party

Sunday, October 10, 2010 - 5:00pm - 8:00pm

Featuring   HEAT, a global climate investigation.

Bring the sceptics and supporters for a fascinating look at realities of climate change.

HEAT is an examination of the hard choices that lie ahead, of resistance to change by major corporations and a report of resistance in Washington.

“We are standing at the precipice of hell. If everyone was to live like an American, then the planet is doomed and the planet is doomed foreever,” says a professor from India featured in HEAT.

For years, big business—from oil & coal companies to electric utilities to car manu- facturers—has resisted change to environmental policy and stifled debate about it in America. See Exxon admit to a disinformation campaign to discredit climate change.

“We're going to cook the planet if we don't do something about reducing carbon emissions,” said a scientist interviewed in HEAT.

(this Global Work Party is promoted by 350.org but presented by 1Sky.)
