DESCRIPTION:Emergency Conference at UC Berkeley, April 26, 2010\nCopenhagen, 
 Environmental Crisis, and the Future of Humanity\n\nSpeakers:\n\nProfessor 
 John Harte, Energy Resources Group and Ecosystems Sciences Division of the 
 College of Natural Resources, University of California, Berkeley\n\nJamie 
 Henn, communications director of the environmental organization 
 350.org\n\nRaymond Lotta, author, The Elephant in the Room: Can Anything 
 Short of Revolution Solve the Climate Crisis? (Revolution newspaper) and 
 Maoist Economics and the Revolutionary Road to Communism.\n\nMaggie Zhou, 
 (via video conferencing), Organizer of Climate SOS; board member 
 Massachusetts Coalition for Healthy Communities; project coordinator, 
 Secure Green Future.\n\nThe planet is at a precipice.  We confront a 
 multi-dimensional, global environmental crisis: soil depletion… 
 diminishing clean water, rivers, and streams… growing biological dead 
 zones in oceans… species extinctions and potential eco-system collapse… 
 and human-driven global climate change…  We have reached the point where 
 the actions of human society could result in a planet in which it is no 
 longer possible for humans and many other species to live.\nYet, at the 
 Copenhagen climate talks in December, the world’s leading powers failed 
 to enact any serious measures necessary to stop climate change.  \nBig 
 questions loom:  Is there any real scientific dispute over the reality and 
 catastrophic trajectory of global warming?  What are the implications of 
 Copenhagen's failure to enact meaningful climate goals?  Will the April 
 19-22 World People's Conference on Climate Change in Bolivia provide 
 alternatives?  What is the root of the environmental crisis?  What does it 
 take to solve problems of this magnitude and urgency?  What can we do 
 now?\nThis emergency conference brings together voices, who, from a range 
 of political perspectives, experience, and expertise, speak to the scope 
 and scale of the emergency, and have been sounding the alarm.\nJoin them in 
 thinking outside the box.   Business as usual is not an option.  We cannot 
 let the results of Copenhagen stand.  Come to the conference, take up the 
 challenge, become part of making the choices, arguing out the solutions, 
 and changing the trajectory of the planet.  \n\n\n
