To a packed auditorium at Denver Botanic Gardens on March 10, Kathleen Biggins presented C-Change Conversations, a non-partisan climate change lecture.
Garden Club of Denver members and guests were riveted by Kathleen’s presentation, filled with facts, data, and common sense risk analysis. Kathleen fielded many questions from the audience and offered advice about risk, behavior and how to approach the future.
Kathleen is a member of the Princeton, NJ Garden Club and started C-Change Conversations after attending GCA’s National Affairs and Legislative Conference in 2014 in Washington, DC.
C-Change Conversations, talks about climate change in a way that helps people understand the urgency of the issue without inflaming partisan passions. It is done by educating people about the science and risks of climate change and by framing it not as a political issue, but as a human one.
As one former climate skeptic in Nantucket, MA said, “You’ve opened my eyes, my mind, and my heart.” The Mayor of Evanston, IL said, “You will leave this presentation knowing more, asking more, and expecting more of yourself, of local businesses, and of your government.” Hundreds of statements like these confirm that C-Change Conversations is achieving a vision: to create a world in which all people understand the risks and demand action to mitigate the climate crisis.” C-Change conversations.org
The program as presented by Kathleen was “developed in consultation with scientists, business leaders, and public policy experts working on climate change.”
It is the design of the program with independent sources that provides the strongest case for understanding the particulars of climate change. Even those who are skeptical about climate change can identify with the presentation that Kathleen gave that afternoon.
