Description: |
The Bard CEP National Climate Seminar kicked off the Fall 2011 series with a conversation with Mike Tidwell, founder and director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network , entitled “The Tea Party and Climate Strategy”. With the arrests of 1,252 climate activists in front of the White House over the past couple weeks for acts of civil disobedience, the discussion focused on where does the climate movement go from here to keep moving forward. This theme was particularly relevant as there is a continuing need to nationalize awareness and put pressure on President Obama to reject the Keystone XL tar sand pipeline permit, a project that would ingrain the US’s dependence on fossil fuels. The conversation between Mr. Tidwell and the audience focused on what climate activists need to do now to push forward towards real climate legislation and solutions to climate change.
