For young people, climate propaganda from a group with a name very similar to Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection

Thanks to the Alliance for Climate Education (ACE), there is terrific outreach going on to reach high school students and give them the information and encouragement they need to help us tackle this issue.

Here's what ACE is up to:
Our primary goal is to equip students with the knowledge and tools they need to confront the global warming challenges our planet faces. ACE teaches the most current and accurate climate science so students will best understand the global warming crisis, and take initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through more informed lifestyle choices.
And the best thing is that they are reaching youth in an engaging way. Check out the video to the right to see a trailer about the (free) assemblies they put together for schools.
The video above includes this helpful illustration, which evidently suggests everything roasting in hellfire when CO2 gets somewhere up above 300 ppm:

The Alliance for Climate Education trains educators to go into schools and present the latest information of climate change. Think of it as bringing an Al Gore disciple into your school who knows all about what’s going on in your local community. One question is how to keep the relationships that these presenters form with the students going after the presentation is over.

It was a cool and cloudy morning in June; more than a dozen volunteers placed red flags across a park field in Bonn, Germany. We were preparing to create a giant aerial image and message to the UN climate talks taking place here. No one anticipated just how wet we were all about to be -- or just how beautiful an message we would create...

Starting at around noon over 500 people (Bonn locals and international activists alike) braved a steady, cool rain to form the aerial image directed by our friend John Quigley, SpectralQ. With penguins, polar bears, and puppets greeting the crowd as they entered the park it was a festive event and a clear demonstration of the groups' dedication for the issue -- lying on the wet ground for over 40 minutes as photographers and press snapped pictures.
