Electricity Markets: Carbon Fee and Dividend and the Clean Power Plan

What's an electric market and how does it operate? What technologies are used to generate electricity? How will Carbon Fee and Dividend impact electricity generation and distribution?  And how does Carbon Fee and Dividend stack up against the EPA's proposed Clean Power Plan draft?

Sam Daley-Harris | Citizens' Climate Lobby | August 2015 Monthly Speaker

Sam Daley-Harris, Center for Citizen Empowerment and Transformation

How can we maximize the leverage from the media we generate and other actions we take? RESULTS founder and CCL mentor Sam Daley–Harris will join our August call and coach us on best practices to ensure that our actions have the greatest impact with members of Congress. After 15 years with RESULTS, Sam founded the Microcredit Summit Campaign, which he left in 2012 to establish the Center for Citizen Empowerment and Transformation.

Getting Endorsements for Climate Action or Carbon Fee and Dividend

As members of Congress move closer to supporting Carbon Fee and Dividend, endorsements from community leaders back in their districts will be a critical factor in their decision to sponsor or vote for our legislation. This lesson discusses how to solicit and secure endorsements from community leaders and organizations.

Patrick Carolan | Citizens' Climate Lobby | July 2015 Monthly Speaker

Patrick Carolan, Executive Director of Franciscan Action Network

Now that the Pope has released his encyclical on climate change, how can we best leverage Francis’ message for policy action? In the run up to the Pope addressing Congress and the UN in September, what messages should we be putting forward in the media? For answers, we’ll turn to Patrick Carolan, Executive Director of the Franciscan Action Network, a grassroots organization amplifying the justice efforts of Franciscans and Franciscan-hearted people around the country.

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe's Keynote Address - 2015 International Conference

The very first time Dr. Katharine Hayhoe spoke on a CCL national call in November of 2011, we realized she had an exceptional gift for communicating climate science, even to those who are skeptics. Just how exceptional, the nation would soon discover. In 2014, she was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, and she was featured in Showtime’s award-winning series on climate change, “Years of Living Dangerously.”

Dr. Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech University, is also an evangelical Christian. She teamed with her husband and pastor Andrew Farley to write A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-Based Decisions, a book that explains climate science in a way that speaks to people of faith.

Dr. Danny Richter | Citizens' Climate Lobby | June 2015 Monthly Speaker

What do we really know about people’s carbon footprints? What role does income and geography play? This is important to know, because the greater one’s carbon footprint, the more one will pay under a carbon-pricing regime, and elected officials want to know which of their constituents will be most affected. A new study from the Center for Global Development sheds light on these questions, and CCL’s Legislative Director Danny Richter will walk us through the study and its findings on the June call.

Tony Leiserowitz | Citizens' Climate Lobby | May 2015 Monthly Speaker

Tony Leiserowitz, Yale Project on Climate Change Communication

The "gateway belief," what makes people more likely to accept the facts on climate change and support public policy solutions, is this simple fact: 97% of climate scientists are convinced, based upon the evidence, that human-caused global warming is happening. On our May call, Tony Leiserowitz from the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication will discuss how we can get this vital information across to people and also talk about using the Yale Climate Opinion Maps as a tool for advocacy.
