Impact on Global Climate Change
December 2007
Stations, the following is
a news announcement. Suggested lead in 3, 2, 1…
(INTRO)
Forecast Earth, a weekly television
program and broadband site dedicated to climate change
announces the second annual Forecast Earth Hot List,
recognizing individuals, groups or companies taking
positive action this year to meet the long-term challenge
of global climate change.
Host Dr. Heidi Cullen says
the list recognizes the key players impacting climate
change.
(CULLEN)
IN THE LAST YEAR, THE DISCUSSION
OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE HAS GONE MAINSTREAM, IN PART
THANKS TO THE PEOPLE ON THIS LIST. NOT SURPRISINGLY,
FOR THE SECOND YEAR, WE HONOR AL GORE WINNER OF THE
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AND GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER,
WHO'S FOCUSING ON REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
IN CALIFORNIA. WE ALSO INCLUDED THE SCIENTISTS ON THE
INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE, AND LAST
BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST THOMAS
L. FRIEDMAN FOR HIS COVER STORY ON MAKING AMERICA RED,
WHITE AND GREEN.
(CLOSE)
Determined by a panel of environmentalists,
academics, scientists and editors from The Weather Channel,
the list is published annually. For more information,
