ON BEHALF OF FOCUS THE NATION, EBAN GOODSTEIN, AND FOCUS THE NATION AT UCF:

WE WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
EXPERIENCED DURING THE 2% SOLUTION WEBCAST
DUE TO THE UNANTICIPATED MASSIVE SUPPORT.

WE TRULY REGRET THE INCONVENIENCES THIS CAUSED.
YOU CAN VIEW THE PROGRAM STARTING AT 1:00AM THURSDAY BY GOING HERE.

Focus the Nation will stream a free, live, interactive webcast called The 2% SOLUTION . With Stanford University climate scientist, Stephen Schneider, sustainability expert Hunter Lovins and green jobs pioneer Van Jones and youth climate leaders, for a discussion of global warming solutions. Audiences will weigh in with cell phone voting. Goal is 10,000 screenings—and a change in the course of history.

Why the name?
To hold global warming to the low end of 3-4 degrees F will require cuts in global warming pollution in the developed countries by more than 80% below current levels by 2050. Put another way, we need to cut roughly 2% of current emission levels a year for the next forty years. The webcast will revolve around the question: can we as a nation get on to this path, and cut global warming pollution 2% a year for the next decade? If so, what would it take?

Universities, high schools, middle schools, and faith groups are hosting a showing at their auditorium, teachers are assigning the first half of the web cast as homework on Wednesday night, and then—since the event will be archived- follow-up with a showing of segments in class on Thursday. Green businesses can also sign up. The 2% Solution presents an incredible opportunity for the entire country, at thousands of sites, to participate in a serious discussion of global warming solutions—and economic opportunities—on one evening next January 30th.
