Clean It Cool It - Climate Change Policy
1.
2. WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?
CLIMATE CHANGE, ALSO
CALLED GLOBAL
WARMING, REFERS TO THE
RISE IN AVERAGE
SURFACE TEMPERATURES
ON EARTH.
3. WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF
CLIMATE CHANGE?
Scientific consensus maintains that climate change is due
primarily to the human use of fossil fuels, which releases
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.
The gases trap heat within the atmosphere, which can
have a range of effects on ecosystems, including rising sea
levels, severe weather events, and droughts that render
landscapes more susceptible to wildfires.
4. JOIN THE FIGHT!
Public Health can be affected by disruptions of physical, biological, and ecological
systems, including disturbances originating here and elsewhere. The health effects
of these disruptions include:
• increased respiratory and cardiovascular disease
• injuries and premature deaths related to extreme weather events
• changes in the prevalence and geographical distribution of food- and water-borne illnesses
and other infectious diseases, and threats to mental health.

Global Consensus
Widespread scientific consensus
exists that the world’s climate is
changing. Some of these changes
will likely include more variable
weather, heat waves, heavy
precipitation events, flooding,
droughts, more intense storms,
sea level rise, and air pollution.
Each of these impacts
could negatively affect
public health.

6. WE FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT,
AGAINST ALL ODDS!
There are substantial barriers to fast, easy, economical solutions!
The difficulty in effectively implementing concrete policy
measures was usually explained by a range of limiting
factors such as:
ecological (natural constraints)
economic (level of poverty, lack of financial resources),
technological (insufficient knowledge, unavailability of
adequate technology)
and the weakness of state institutions

7. HOW DO WE OVERCOME THESE
OBSTACLES? OR DO WE ADAPT?
Do we need
Amphibious
Vehicles?
8. “ITS “NATURAL” OR CAN’T BE FIXED, JUST
ADAPT”… OR NOT…
Forbes.com,. "Forbes Welcome". N. p., 2015. Web. 15 Dec. 2015.
IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) acknowledges that some of the
changes will be beneficial – including higher crop
yields in places like Canada, Europe and Central
Asia – and in some cases, such as Switzerland
people will be able to adapt to the effects of
Climate Change. Adaptations could include
better flood defenses or building houses that can
withstand tropical cyclones.
9. Clean It and Cool It Project
We believe that it is a “no-brainer”---
emissions have to be reduced, the air is
polluted, the earth is getting sick,
animals and people are suffering. We
understand the need to adapt to “what
is”, until things improve, but resources
need to be directed and invested in the
implementation of policy supporting a
future with a cleaner planet, a cooler
planet, therefore a healthier people.
10. Our Iniative: How we fight
to make a difference
TODAY!
At Local, State, National and Global
Levels we have people working
passionately, with great dedication to
make, implement and enforce policy
related to:
• LIMIT GLOBAL WARMING
POLLUTION
• GREEN JOBS AND CLEAN
ENERGY
• DRIVE SMARTER CARS
• GREEN HOMES AND BUILDINGS
• BETTER COMMUNITIES AND
TRANSPORTATION

information collection, legislation development, cute t-
