Anna Graybeal Presents: A Solution for Climate Change, Our Greatest Challenge

Part 1
Anna Graybeal will discuss what is happening: the science of climate change and how it is driving global ecosystem changes, and the likely impacts on humans and human civilization.

Part 2

She will next address what we can do about it, with a focus on the rationale for putting a price on carbon and the many benefits such a policy would provide, including economic. Finally, she will talk about the group, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, and invite people to get involved. She will also provide materials for people to write a quick postcard or even a letter to their Member of Congress if they want to take action right away.

Anna Graybeal received a Bachelor’s degree in biology from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology from the University of California at Berkeley. She moved to Austin for a post-doc, but began to realize that she wanted to switch fields: she then earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, and has been in private practice in Austin ever since. She first learned about global warming at Berkeley, and has become increasingly concerned about the rapid changes we are seeing. Along with a co-leader, she started the Austin chapter of the volunteer-based organized Citizens’ Climate Lobby two years ago as a way to get involved in taking action on this challenging problem.
