I am also part of <https://climatepedia-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1bIFR_7HVtgOInOjDBQSlwJRh6kNmDjYvaiLDsXcmvTQ-0&key=YAMMID-92234556&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.climatepedia.org> Climatepedia.org, a student-run initiative devoted to climate change education. You are one of nearly 500 expert signatories of the Tyndall Petition, a statement designed to communicate the realities of a changing climate to the general public. In light of the events this week, communicating the urgency of climate change is perhaps <https://climatepedia-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1bIFR_7HVtgOInOjDBQSlwJRh6kNmDjYvaiLDsXcmvTQ-0&key=YAMMID-92234556&link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnews%2Fenergy-environment%2Fwp%2F2016%2F09%2F26%2Ftrumps-transition-team-includes-a-major-skeptic-of-mainstream-climate-change-science%2F> more important than ever. The American public cannot rely on the media to be the only voice of climate science experts. We’re asking for your help with: 1. Referrals.

Forwarding this email. Others can also sign our statement by sending an email to <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] with the subject title “Signing onto Tyndall Petition” and a link to their faculty website in the message body. Thank you again for signing the Tyndall Petition. Our statement is reproduced below: "There is overwhelming scientific evidence that people are warming the Earth beyond natural variability. This position is held by virtually all climate scientists, NASA, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the world’s most authoritative organization on climate change). The question today is no longer if man-made climate change is happening, but how its challenges can be solved by human ingenuity. We must rapidly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in order to minimize the significant risks of climate change, such as more extreme heat waves, prolonged droughts and severe floods. Our actions will have lasting impacts on generations to come.” -- Sincerely, Kimberly Duong Graduate Student Researcher Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Irvine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
