Interested in a Green New Deal Deep Dive?  Then you want to watch this video with an analysis by Winston Apple at the All Souls Forum (All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church). Recorded Sunday, April 21.  Winston discusses the ground breaking resolution by AOC,
 what it faces, and how it might be made better.

You need to prepare yourself to know what you need to know about climate change.  It is shocking we have done so little given that, if we do nothing or not enough, the climate emergency will devastate future generations.  There is a Chinese symbol for CRISIS.  It is actually two symbols: DANGER and OPPORTUNITY.  With a runaway climate, face such DANGER.  With bold and immediate action, we could experience such OPPORTUNITY.  The Soular Project vlog is our first entry to our new YouTube Channel.   

What actions should you take?  I have two recommendations that focus on 1) the urgent nature of the dangers of the climate emergency; and 2) what are the solutions we can take that will save the planet and all living upon it.

1. The Urgent Nature of the Climate Emergency: My personal advice is to join The Climate Mobilization.  https://www.theclimatemobilization.org  This organization treats the climate crisis as if it were an immediate emergency.  The longer we wait to take action, the worse our climate will become... until we reach the point of no return and a run-away climate. 
 One of its metaphors is December 7, 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  We knew it was an emergency.  In the blink of an eye, we stopped building cars and instead built tanks and airplanes.  With do-nothing or inadequate responses to the climate emergency, we will experience far more devastating results.

2) What Are Our Solutions?  For a long time, I had a hard time answering this important questions.  Now, I feel the best place to look is Project Drawdown.  https://www.drawdown.org/  There likely are Drawdown chapters in every major city, so Google your city name and "Drawdown" to find what is going on in you area.  Drawdown is more that stopping carbon.  It is importantly  actually pulling carbon out of the atmosphere to return it to safe levels.

Looking for a climate speaker?  If you have an organization, business, church or club, Craig Wolfe was trained by Al Gore's Climate Reality Project to make presentations on the climate emergency.  Contact Craig at info@soularproject.com
