WHERE: University of Montana - UC Ballroom, 3rd Floor UC Center

With projections for significant climate change and Congressional
debate heating up, cap and trade is a “hot” topic across the country,
making Climate Countdown – A Community Discussion of Global Cap and
Trade a must attend event. The event begins with a panel giving a
brief overview of climate issues and illuminating what
U.S./International Energy Policy, Cap and Trade legislation and
emission reductions projects could mean to our world, our nation and
our communities. With an eye to the numerous possible permutations of
a cap and trade system and the interesting examples of voluntary and
mandatory cap and trade systems working today, a majority of the event
will be allocated to dialog between the panelists and attendees of the
options and their ramifications. This will be a Climate Neutral Event!
Greenhouse Gas emissions will be mitigated with Gordondale Dairy
project certified carbon offsets purchased from ClearSky Climate
Solutions. The event is free and open to the public.
