The Climate Reality Project

Dear XXXXXX,

As a member of the Climate Reality family, I wanted to share with you some recent personal news.

I was honored to join The Alliance for Climate Protection’s efforts to fight for comprehensive climate legislation five years ago. And thrilled to then lead the organization through an important transformation to The Climate Reality Project. Faced with the realization that the well-funded and pervasive climate denial industry was winning the broader cultural battle, The Climate Reality Project took up the mantle to dispel doubt and spread the immediate reality of climate change with innovative organizing and communication initiatives designed to transform the cultural conversation. This spring, after an exceptional tenure at the helm of this burgeoning organization, I will be stepping down as President and CEO.

Over the past three years, we have operated with a start-up mentality as climate entrepreneurs, calling out deniers, while also connecting the dots for individuals seeking to understand the reality of climate change and its impact on their everyday lives. We have developed global online events including the annual 24 Hours of Reality, released cutting-edge digital tools such as Reality Drop and What I Love and formed new and effective partnerships with communities affected by climate change – from winter sports lovers to mothers to young people with the critical help of tech enthusiasts and the marketing and advertising industry. We have also invested in growing and empowering a powerful group of 6000 global leaders in over 100 countries acting as change agents and members of The Climate Reality Leadership Corps.

This has been one of the most energizing and exciting portions of my career. I am inspired every day by the talent, diligence and passion our staff brings to this important work. And, I also feel it is the right time in the organization’s growth for me to help Chairman Gore and the Board find a new leader to take the cultural conversation to the next level.

I’d like to thank Chairman Gore for his incredible, visionary leadership on climate change and the Climate Reality staff and Board as well as our supporters for all that they do every day to make a difference. I am looking forward to carrying all I have learned from this fascinating journey onto creating a sustainable world that keeps faith with our children, grandchildren and all future generations.

It has been an honor and a pleasure to work alongside you. In March, I will be in Johannesburg to train another class of Climate Reality Leaders to join the Climate Reality family. I look forward to following their great work and continuing to see the impact that all of you will have towards destroying denial worldwide and finding solutions to the climate crisis.

All the best in the New Year,

Maggie L. Fox

President and CEO, The Climate Reality Project

Chairman Gore made me immediately think of Chairman Mao.

Crosspatch, you have to be able to recognize reality to join it.
She gave no indication of recognizing the boot on her posterior.

Amazing.
It must be infuriating that not only do sceptics receive negligible funding, but green funding for projects like the $1.5m Spirit Of Mawson comedy only serve to fuel the sceptical argument.
Are green dollars the sceptics biggest, albeit indirect, source of accidental funding?

“Chairman Gore made me immediately think of Chairman Mao.”
I, too, immediately thought of Chairman Mao as did Alan Robertson (9:26 am). I thought these guys had all engaged top notch image, PR and communications consultants to wage the war against the mighty(?) denial machine. They must select them from the lefty side of the spectrum.

“Faced with the realization that the well-funded and pervasive climate denial industry”. I would love to know where this industry is? The fact is that other than on this blog, and a few other blogs, I hear vurtualy no “climate denial”. The MSM is firmly on the CAGW side. If there was all these funds to be had, why are people like Anthony not very wealthy (like the CAGW crowd).

“Chairman Gore ” , love it.
As soon as someone describes their views as “reality” or calls themself a “realist” (ie I must be right) , smell a small putrid rat.
Would you trust a newspaper that called itself “Truth” ? (Pravda for example)

Thanks for your service comrade, now please step in front of the bus.

Al Gore the climate whore. Scumbag…

January 7, 2014 9:46 am

Think she wrote it or just signed it? “… look forward to following your GREAT work …”
I never use the word “great” anymore except in sarcasm because it is so universally used by politicians with their limited vocabulary …. likely not true but why do they overuse that word?

I suspect the “Chairman Gore ” bit is a knife in the back after a less than voluntary “resignation”.

Not a word about bringing forth facts and science. Cultural conversation? Is this a travel agency or a yogurt club?

“impact that all of you will have towards destroying denial worldwide”
The face of cult hate, 2014. I was thinking more of Jonestown as well as Emmanuel Goldstein;
“with the realization that the well-funded and pervasive climate denial industry was winning the broader cultural battle, The Climate Reality Project took up the mantle to dispel doubt and spread the immediate reality of climate change with innovative organizing and communication initiatives designed to transform the cultural conversation.”
About “science” right?

RT says:
A Russian-built ship stranded in the Antarctic ice has started moving away from the ice fields after a change of wind cleared its path. A Chinese icebreaker, which was caught herself on the way to rescue the vessel, has already reached clear waters.

It is unclear exactly why many climate change organizations are installing new executives, but it appears they are following the professional sports paradigm: When a team loses more than it wins, you can’t fire all the players, but you can fire the coach.

Yeah, it all depends on whose Fox is Gored.

Memo to Maggie: I’m Spartacus and I’m not well funded. Also, you can swap out denier with science to help see the fallacy of this anti-science diatribe. Science might survive in the long run, but I’M not so sure about the middle class that ultimately funds the overlapping layers of carbon policy fraud, like direct and indirect carbon tax, transfers of wealth schemes, and fraud-based budget items from already chronic deficit spending regimes.

The hypothesis of Man-Made Global Warming is dying. We just have to keep throwing water on the flame and wait for another Winter of Storms.
As the Russians learned as well as Napoleon and Hitler, General Winter always wins.

Faced with the realization that the well-funded and pervasive climate denial industry was winning the broader cultural battle, [Now isn’t that nice to hear]
The Climate Reality Project took up the mantle to dispel doubt… empowering a powerful group of 6000 global leaders in over 100 countries acting as change agents and members of The Climate Reality Leadership Corps.

What that really means is the real goal is to train manipulators to take away the freedom to make our own decisions. I am surprised she used such a key prhase

What The Heck Is The Alinsky Method?
In the book, “Educating For The New World Order,” the author, Bev Eakman points out repeatedly the necessity of the educationists to preserve the ILLUSION that there is: “Lay, or community, participation in the decision making process, while in fact lay citizens are being squeezed out.”
It is interesting, and EXTREMELY important to Americans, both as parents and as citizens, to clearly understand just HOW the “squeezing out” process takes place. It is a well defined, if not well perceived, process known as the “Alinsky Method” (which was derived from a procedure named as “The Delphi Technique.”) This method of manipulating people is based on the fact that people in groups tend to share a common knowledge base and display certain identifiable characteristics known as “group dynamics.”
“Change Agents” or “Facilitators” appear to be acting as organizers, “allowing” each person in the group to express their concerns about some program or policy under consideration. While this process is going on, people are urged to make lists or form into task forces. The Facilitator carefully notes which members of the group are leaders, which are “loud mouths” and which may be easily swayed to different viewpoints.
At a certain point, the previously friendly Change Agent begins to act as “devil’s advocate,” becoming an agitator. The process involves playing one part of the group against another, the “divide and conquer” technique.….
The “targets” of such manipulation rarely, if ever, realize how they are being manipulated. If they do suspect, they generally have no idea how to defeat the process.
This method is being used at all levels of government to force meetings toward PRESET conclusions. There are three steps to defeating this process….

Thank goodness more and more people are figuring it out. Farmers/livestock owners, many of whom are considered to be solidly in the left’s pocket figured it out in 2009 Prepare to be Delphi’d!
So have other groups. Building Consensus AKA You’ve Been “Delphi’d” ! …School, city or county public meetings are led by so-called “facilitators” who have been trained to turn the public to a pre-determined outcome and marginalize the final few they haven’t ‘rolled’ to their position.
I am reminded of an alleged David Rockefeller Quote

This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long – We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.

Looks like that “window of opportunity” is closing in as fast as the ice did on the Ship of Fools.
This does not mean they are by any means defeated, it just means the soft pedal approach, getting us to “buy in” to our own enslavement has not worked. I am not looking forward to the next installment.
