About Us
Research
Investigating problems and crafting solutions
Finding global warming solutions. Extreme weather events lead to loss of life and billions of dollars in economic damage. What’s more, scientists predict that global warming could increase the frequency of such events in the future. Our report, “Global Warming and Extreme Weather,” shined a light on what could become “the new normal” if we fail to avert the worst effects of global warming.
Education
Educating the public and making our voices heard
Advance a permanent solution to the carp crisis. With Asian carp on Lake Michigan's doorstep last summer, we called on President Obama to radically change the federal response to the crisis. In response to our coalition's request, Obama appointed a "carp czar" to oversee and better coordinate federal action to control the carp.
