From Breitbart:
Confirmed. Maggie L. Fox is on the out at Gore’s CRP. Here is the “resignation” letter sent to the mailing list. Name of recipient redacted.
===========================================================
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

Job Opening UNEP
The United Nations Environment Programme is to undertake an “Inquiry into the Design of a Sustainable Financial System: Policy Innovations for a Green Economy”, with its core objective being to identify and develop financial market policy and regulatory options, based on global best practice, which would deliver a step change in their effectiveness in channelling capital to green investments.
A small team is being assembled to support the set-up phase with two Co-Directors, together with a Head of Communications, which will make up the Inquiry`s leadership team. A Programme Officer is required to provide Programme support to the leadership team.

Well at least the pro-snow lobby group won’t have to offset their carbon jetting off to Greenland this year to find snow, hope they are still singing it’s praises now the stuff is very likely on their own doorsteps! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbTkpsqQkkA (youtube link as otherwise the climatereality site will suddenly get very popular!)
I wonder how ‘pro-snow’ they are now?
‘pervasive climate denial industry’ . How would I have translated this when I got my first English lessons in the fifties?
Sat through a crp “talk”. Jumped out of my seat
screaming when he compared denialists as the
same people who said smoking was not harmful.
They never mentioned the “fact” al gore owned a tobacco farm.
“destroying denial worldwide” could be lifted right out of Orwell’s “1984” in other language use. We are living in a stark time.
It was one thing when these people lived in the fringes, 1890-1972 in the case of the U.S., now they have access to the highest offices of power and fill many seats. Consider Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000, frightful.
Remember the difference between the hedgehog and the fox?
Well, this Fox knew One Big Thing— except it was One Wrong Big Thing.
May she dine on sour grapes for a long, long time.
@ur momisugly Gail, 9:56 am, I watched this happen in our community, as a matter of fact a few months into the “sustainable” movement , group leaders began having meetings and the facilitators present with just them present. It became quickly apparent the disdain the ( out of town btw) facilitators had for the average “joe” that WERE NOT at those “leaders” only meetings. I resigned in protes rather fast after a few of those. One visible thing that eventually came out of the whole project was a VERY visible, “community” organized walking and hiking trail system (half of it was already there but with every foot added there was another news clip) leaving the whole place basking in glory while in the meantime the bureaucracy in this small bedroom community multiplied four fold, the regulations and rules did the same thing and now of course for every bureaucrat they have to hire secretaries, built a bigger city hall, a fleet of trucks and cars lavish salaries and golden handshakes etc etc. We are trying to stop this insanity, you get the picture but most people are too busy putting food on the table .Open city hall meetings rarely have more than 5-6 people in attendance!.
That reads more like a donor request letter, which is what most of the organization is about—self survival.
Time to bring back Keith Olbermann?
ANNOUNCEMENT: The gravy train has left the station.
Regarding Maggie L. Fox’s letter of resignation, here is my reformulation of the letter with what I think is a clearer statement of what she is communicating:

It is darn scary.
Worse kids are not taught about Germany and WWII. They have zero idea who the Germany’s leader was not even his name or the parallels with today. So yes very scary.

They are starting the crap here in my town. You are correct. Those who have to earn a living do not have a chance against the “Professional out of town Change Agent” especially when caught un aware.
I watched the “About us” on the Climate Reality Project Website:
http://climaterealityproject.org/about-us/
If you replace the word Berlin Wall, in his narrative, with CAGW Activism, Green Activists, or your choice of words, then the narrative makes sense. I could not watch more than the first minute or so, as I get that “agita” (an Italian word for stirring often used to indicate upset stomach.
How ironic that most of us unfunded truth seekers will probably agree!
Sorry about the repost, I want to follow this post.
Good luck you scamsters!
“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.”
Chairman Gore and the cultural conversation? 120 starving polar bears and a big cage can’t be far behind.
I’d reckon it was the idea of the “alliance with winter sports lovers” wot done her in.
The idea that the mission is about “destroying denial worldwide” is somewhat disturbing.
[SNIP – Landscheidt isn’t a topic we discuss here, plus there’s all the hate words you included. Take it elsewhere – Anthony]
I predict that that letter will become textbook material in future for examining the pathological mindset of the Mean Green.
It drips with hate, condescension, elitism, narcissism, projection, denial, arrogance, immaturity and cognitive dissonance.

+++++++++++
Gail: Well said. I feel it’s been happening over the past 4 to 5 years, starting with the leader of the free world with his divide and conquer community-organizing drivel that breeds envy and then hatred. Every so often I realize the weight of our current situation, and it’s a downer. Then I think, are times really that bad? What time in history was better? I’d rather be alive now in this world than at any time in the past. But then again, that reality of this current situation the 1st world find itself in – not good.
I wonder how she will feel when she realises that they were losing the war against a totally unfunded opposition whose only ammunition was the truth.
All I get from reading that letter is the propaganda approach to AGW. there is no mention of any of the science. their approach has all been spin and more spin because the science does not support their AGW stance. so expect more as the scam is finally made mainstream and the sheeples realize they’ve been had …
“innovative organizing and communication initiatives designed to transform the cultural conversation”
“we have operated with a start-up mentality as climate entrepreneurs”
“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”
“We have also invested in growing and empowering a powerful group of 6000 global leaders “
@ur momisugly Gail,
Gail I hope it is not too late, if you at all can I( can tell you from experience it will be too late very soon fight back the best you can), print of my stories let friends read it. You need to some how to stand up . I think more than ever people today are starting to realize what is going on . Do not let them get away. First of all if they are bringing in”consultants” question that one right away. There are enough people in your town to “consult” and most of them will do it for free. Document the proceedings as best as you can. Try to make sure your council is questioned and if you can do it on a one on one basis . These so called “consultants” are the fore runners, the leading edge, for the progressives believe me, they make you feel warm and fuzzy all over and then wham. because I am not in the USA so I cannot do the tea party thing here but if you can, ask them for their support!
