Earlier this month NY Times Magazine writer, Nathaniel Rich, published a riveting article tracing the political and scientific history of fossil fuel's accelerating impacts on the climate and Earth's continued habitability.

Rich documents that climate change could have been solved starting in the 1970s and why it wasn't. So now, reducing CO2 levels in the air is our pressing imperative to avoid the worst climate impacts. I urge you to read Rich's article and attend today's important webinar on the New Carbon Economy and the August 29th Carbon Pricing webinar.

See the webinar descriptions below. If you can't make the sessions, register anyway and you will get an email when the recordings are posted. Thanks, Ed Saltzberg

First Webinar in the New Carbon Economy Series Hosted by LightWorks at Arizona State University Reframing Carbon Capture and Reuse: Building a New Industry August 21, 2018 2:15 to 3:45 PM EDT Register for the Webinar

About the Webinar Series The economic and industrial developments that were fueled by the industrial revolution have made nations more productive than ever before and brought in significant social and lifestyle changes. However, they have also added approximately 2 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide to the Earth’s atmosphere. The Imperative: The presence of CO2 to such an extent in the atmosphere is a pressing environmental and social challenge. But, it also provides an enormous market opportunity to transform waste carbon dioxide in the air into valuable products and services in a New Carbon Economy (NCE) -- an economy where carbon pollution is turned into materials and fuels that drive our daily lives. The NCE Webinar Series: LightWorks at Arizona State University is hosting a three-webinar series to examine whether the pace of R&D funding for carbon capture, storage and reuse can be accelerated if it is framed as a social responsibility. How can government, industry and citizens contribute to the social responsibility of meeting the climate imperative by funding the underpinnings of the New Carbon Economy? Panelists for Webinar 1 Julio Friedmann Julio Friedman, CEO of Carbon Wrangler and former Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Fossil Energy. Listen to a NORI podcast with Julio. Ken Alex Ken Alex, Director of the Governor's Office of Planning and Research - California State Government. Listen to Ken's podcast about California staying the course on the Paris agreement. Anthony Hobley Anthony Hobley, Chief Executive Officer of the Carbon Tracker Initiative. Watch Anthony explain what Carbon Tracker is all about in a sort video. Moderator, Clark Miller Clark Miller, Associate Director of ASU's School for the Future of Innovation in Society will moderate the webinar. Clark's research focus on science, technology & globalization. He writes about the design and critical analysis of knowledge systems in support of US and global policy making, about the governance challenges posed by new and emerging technologies, and about the social sustainability of transitions in complex, large-scale, socio-technological systems Please Forward this Email to Colleagues.
