           Where do we go from here? How will we bring climate issues into our classrooms and into our communities? Will we de-vest in fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy sources? To get us thinking, Ms. Weiss asked everyone to stand, turn to someone next to them, and explain what we plan to do to translate the knowledge we received from today’s conference speakers into concrete actions. She believes there is a strong case to be made for climate change as a cause of war, referring to climate change and nuclear weapons as “Apocalyptic Twins,” which make today’s remarks an appropriate transition to our next conference topic, “War No More.”
