 History of the Earth and humans  Greenhouse gases  Global warming and Climate change  Natural and human caused factors  Scientific Consensus  The rate of change EPA NOAA U.S. Climate Policy ml Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Corvallis Sustainability Coalition OSU Climate Plan iles/docs/osuclimateplan2009.pdf

A brief look at some recent events…

Practically everything the majority of society depends on is contingent on fossil fuel burning.  Food  Home energy use (heating/cooling and electricity)  Transportation  Education/work facilities  Consumer goods, public services  Medical services  Leisure activities such as going to the movies or going skiing  Climate change tied to social/economic conditions  Policy  Cultural paradigms  Societal Perspectives  Education  Value systems, worldviews

 Our children and grandchildren  Humanity in general  Life in general  Interconnectedness  Quality of life  Intrinsic value  Spiritual and philosophical reasons  Human integrity It is time to open ourselves to discussions on morality, based on sound reasoning-which includes fact based knowledge and human virtues. The actions described in this presentation are more lasting when attached to personal values.

 Green Revolution  The idea of eating carbon  Production, processing, transportation, storage, distribution.  Average miles traveled from farm to plate=1500  What you can do  Buy local  Buy organic  Farmers market  Co-ops  CSAs  Community Gardens  Home gardening, organic, permaculture
