NASA's Hansen to speak in DC: April 22, 2008

Please attend next week as Dr. James Hansen, the nation's most famous climate scientist, gives his first major public address since announcing that governments and climate researchers have grossly underestimated the severity of the effects of carbon dioxide emissions.

"What we have found is that the target we have all been aiming for is a disaster - a guaranteed disaster," Hansen recently told the Guardian Newspaper in London.
Hansen, longtime head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, will speak at G.W.'s Lisner Auditorium this Earth Day, April 22, about what we as a nation can still do to save our life-giving climate and avoid disaster. The event, sponsored by CCAN and the 1Sky campaign, is one you don't want to miss. Tickets are going fast. Reserve yours at www.chesapeakeclimate.org/climaterally

Joining Hansen as keynote speakers will be Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now, and the Rev. Jim Wallis, President of Sojourners. Goodman has spent her career advocating for justice and human rights at home and abroad as a courageous, truth-telling journalist. Rev. Wallis is a progressive evangelical minister who has worked on civil rights and social justice issues for decades.

Help us pack The George Washington University Lisner Auditorium on April 22nd for an historic night as we keep building the clean energy revolution in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia!
