We believe that awareness of the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change is a key factor in people’s decisions whether or not to support action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, our goal is to use technology and a community of climate change champions to create a global coordinated megaphone that informs the public about climate change on a regular basis.
