Secretary of State Bill Bradbury presents ‘Global Warming and its Impact on Oregon’ w/discussion of peak oil's implications

Portland, Ore. June 11th, 2008—Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, who completed a rigorous training program led by former Vice President Al Gore, will present and educate about issues and solution surrounding global warming on June 11th at St. Francis of Assisi Church (corner of 12th and SE Pine).

Bill was part of a select group of 50 individuals chosen to receive intensive training by Gore and a team of renowned scientists about issues surrounding global warming.  Each received technical training to become experienced presenters of a version of Gore’s computer-based slide show, which became the basis of his best-selling book and documentary film, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

“Bill Bradbury is an outstanding example of the millions of Americans who have been energized by the call to action on the climate crisis,” said Gore. “Bill is making presentations in and around Oregon discussing how individuals and businesses, schools, and other organizations can be a major part of the solution to the growing crisis of global warming.”

Sallie Schullinger-Krause, the Oregon Environmental Council’s Global Warming Program Director notes that “Bill Bradbury has become Oregon’s leader in global warming outreach. Not only has he tailored his presentation to include the very real effects of climate change on Oregon but he has developed tools to help his audiences become part of the solution.”

A discussion will follow about the intersection of peak oil and global warming mitigation, with assistance from John Kaufmann of the Oregon Department of Energy.
