positive vision of a sustainable future, and to
translate that vision into action. He lives on
Vancouver Island, in Canada.
He is founder of the BC Sustainable Energy
Association, co-founder of the Victoria Car Share
Cooperative, and the author or co-author of ten
books, including The Climate Challenge: 101
Solutions to Global Warming and
Journey to the Future: A Better World Is Possible.
He is an Honorary Member of the Planning
Institute of BC, a Fellow of the Findhorn

3. A NOTE TO TUTORS
If you are using the slides to teach
a course, please note that the first
200 are mostly about the
problem; the rest are about the
solutions.
So be sure to time yourself. If
students only get the “OMG” side,
they may become alarmed and
depressed. People need the
solutions too, to understand that
change is possible.
Including discussion, the full
presentation needs 3-5 hours.

How to Understand the Climate Crisis
in 10 Easy Steps
1. Earth has a very thin
atmosphere, which traps heat,
protecting us from being roasted
by day and frozen by night.

greenhouse gases that trap heat in
the atmosphere, keeping us warm:
water vapor and
carbon dioxide

95. Why do people really deny
the climate science?
1. If people come to believe it’s true, it will threaten our
corporate profits from fossil fuels.
2. I don’t like big government, and if it was true,
governments would have to act, and they’d need more
powers, so I believe it’s all a government plot.
3. I am a confident, well-educated older male, and I think I
know how the world works. I don’t like being wrong, and
I really don’t like tree-huggers telling me I’m wrong.
4. I’m very comfortable, and I don’t like change - and this
climate thing has got change written all over it.
