The public is invited to this lecture by Kathleen Biggins, Founder/President of C-Change Conversations.  The Perrysburg Country Garden Club is sponsoring this event to explore one of the most urgent issues of our time: climate change. The C-Change Primer is an engaging and compelling program that uses visual data, charts and photographs to provide an accessible overview of the science behind climate change and a clear-eyed assessment of the potential risks ahead.  

“For many of us, no matter where we fall on the political spectrum, our understanding of climate change is influenced by partisan fervor and affiliation, rather than science and economic reality,” says Kathleen Biggins. “This can prevent us, whatever side we sit on, from fully understanding the scope, complexity and urgency of the issue. Reactions to the Primer have been overwhelmingly positive from conservatives and liberals alike.”   

C-Change Conversations, a New Jersey-based nonprofit organization, developed the Primer in consultation with independent climate scientists and public policy specialists and has presented it throughout the U.S. and overseas. It answers many of the questions most Americans have about climate change, such as: How do we know climate change is real and is caused by humans? What is the scientific consensus? What are the dangers? Is there hope?
 
The Primer presents clear, unbiased information that helps people understand how climate change will affect them personally, with an emphasis on how our changing environment is affecting our health, national security, and the global economy. It has been widely hailed as an intelligent, dispassionate introduction to and illumination of the topic.

C-Change Conversations was founded and is run by volunteers who span the political spectrum. Their aim is simple: move the conversation away from the politicized language of today to help us all understand the implications of climate change. This short video provides a good introduction to the group, their mission, and their non-confrontational, peer-to-peer approach in talking about climate change.
