    After the Midterms -
    Hope for a
    New Climate Reality 

    with David Callaway
    Founder of Callaway Climate Insights


    David Callaway's sponsor is
    Michele Chaboudy,
    President of World Affairs Council of Sonoma County

    About the Program         

              It’s happened -- the United Nations has declared global efforts to keep temperatures in a tight range a failure. Witness this past summer's heat, storms, fires, and floods across the globe, all dramatically worse than anything seen before.

              But David Callaway, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Callaway Climate Insights, sees something else. In his coming talk, AFTER THE MIDTERMS – HOPE FOR A NEW CLIMATE REALITY, Callaway makes the case that technology advancements in China, Europe and the U.S., plus a sudden environmental awakening spearheaded by grassroots pushback on AI data centers, lend new hope that the battle against global warming can still be won.

              Join us the on Nov. 5 -- just two days after midterm elections, for a discussion on where we are and what has to happen next, and an injection of hope.
