Shortly after former Vice President Al Gore and the United National Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change jointly received the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, I posted my congratulations here. I mused that 2007 will go down as one of the most historic in terms of the climate crisis. The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize for what is a scientific category in the mind of some skeptics is sure to expand the argument that global warming is not happening.
In three months’ time, I will make my very first visit to Australia in order to attend the third International Solar Cities Congress.
Having attended the second one almost two years ago and left a different person, I barely can contain my excitement. I doubt that I will meet any global warming skeptics in or around the conference venue, especially since Adelaide, the host city, is a full decade ahead of most places in North America in terms of its response to the climate crisis. However, I like to be prepared.
Having met the Deputy Mayor of Adelaide briefly during the last Solar Cities Congress, my true expectation is that the people at the event will be congenial and laid back. After all, the province of South Australia is renowned for its fine vineyards and breathtaking seascapes.
Either way, though, what I really wish to share with you is the bottom line about global warming skeptics or, more to the point, global warming stoics. I just stumbled on a 10-minute video clip which lays out the response most anyone can use when confronted by such people.
It is the approach I have used for more than a year and fully endorse. I just wish that I could take credit for creating this inspired video! The best I can do is recommend it to you. Yes, it is that good. The URL is
