Quote by Paul Watson, a founder of Greenpeace: "It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true."

Quote by Jim Sibbison, environmental journalist, former public relations official for the Environmental Protection Agency: "We routinely wrote scare stories...Our press reports were more or less true...We were out to whip the public into a frenzy about the environment."

Quote by Ottmar Edenhoffer, high level UN-IPCC official: "We redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy...Basically it's a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization...One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore."

Quote by Club of Rome: "In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human intervention....and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself....believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose."

Quote by emeritus professor Daniel Botkin: "The only way to get our society to truly change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe."

That ought give you an hour's worth of talk. But if you need more, here is where Al Gore tells all he is lying and that it is alright.

Quote by Al Gore, former U.S. vice president, and large CO2 producer: "I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis."

You might start out with some facts. Starting with what real honest scientists think.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warm...

"The finding that the climate has warmed in recent decades and that human activities are already contributing adversely to global climate change has been endorsed by every national science academy that has issued a statement on climate change, including the science academies of all of the major industrialized countries."

And then a description of what it is about CO2, and H2O, that's a problem.

They both absorb, and radiate heat (infrared radiation, like from a warm sidewalk at night).

The difference is that natural processes get rid of excess H2O. It rains.

Extra CO2 just stays there. There isn't enough plant growth to absorb it.

It does get absorbed into the oceans. Where it's raised the acidity level,

to the point that it's harming some corals. And there are lots of fish species

that spawn in coral beds, so it will harm them as well.

Its usually a very good idea to watch how professionals do their job & pick up a few points from them.

You should do well by taking a few cues from the eloquent professional speaker in the following video.

The intro is 2 minutes long , the featured speaker tells a few lame jokes & then gets into the meat of the subject @ around the 4 minute mark.
