A Groundswell of Climate Activists

By Rev. Michael Dowd

Today my wife, Connie Barlow (a science writer and evolutionary educator), got a “Google Alert” that her new video on climate change was posted on the webpage of another passionate volunteer working to dislodge our nation’s logjam against taking climate action. Tenney Naumer’s “Climate Change: The Next Generation” is perhaps the most efficient resource for keeping up on key scientific reports and socio-economic responses on the issue that, unquestionably, will define my generation’s legacy. So it was great news that Connie’s video merited a slot on this site.
