Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by
trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps
our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and
oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon
dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and temperatures are rising.

There is no doubt we can solve this problem. In fact, we have a moral
obligation to do so. Small changes to your daily routine can add up to big
differences in helping to stop global warming. The time to come together to
solve this problem is now!

Join SJSU's top experts for an illuminating discussion on global climate
change. Learn about the latest scientific research, effective government
policies, progress in industry and business, promising green technologies,
and how individuals and communities can be part of the solution.
