My focus is climate change. I give a (usually 40 minute) Powerpoint presentation about the state-of-the-art climate science and effects that climate change is doing to the planet. My presentation facts are based on reports from NASSA, NOAA, the Snow & Ice Data Center to mention a few. I work hard to dispel the fake science that is based upon ideological hearsay, not science. To date, I have given 251 presentations including at the COP-15 Climate Summit in Copenhagen, the United Nations in New York, many colleges, schools, churches, conservation organizations, Earth Day events and television shows.
