“Like former Vice President Al Gore, Thomas Stokes, coordinator of the

Climate Crisis Coalition, believes that the issue of global warming is no

longer solely the purview of environmentalists. ‘What we’re trying to do is

expand awareness (of climate change),’ said Stokes, who attended Gore’s

lecture Wednesday night. ‘(Climate change) is much more than an

environmental issue. It is, in fact, a crisis.’… The Climate Crisis Coalition

was founded in 2004. The mission, Stokes said, is to build a broad-based

coalition that can become an agent for change… Besides urging political

leaders nationwide to support the Kyoto agreement, Stokes and his

organization are constantly updating their CCC newsfeed. He said he tries

to put eight to 10 environmentally related stories on the CCC Web site daily.

‘You might think finding eight to 10 stories every day would be difficult,’ he

said. ‘The reality is that there are so many stories about climate change

worldwide, it’s tough to post only eight to ten.’ One of the more encouraging

things about the movement is that more and more individuals and organizations

are becoming concerned and involved…, Stokes said.”
