Feb. 11 Luncheon Briefing by the Heartland Institute’s Paul Chesser 

Atlanta – Register now to attend “The Changing Climate of Climate Change,” the Georgia Public Policy Foundation’s noon Policy Briefing Luncheon on Thursday, February 11, 2010, at the Commerce Club in Atlanta. The event is keynoted by Paul Chesser, director of the Heartland Institute’s Climate Strategies Watch, which assesses the development of global warming policies in the states, and is part of the Foundation’s Climate Change Education Project.

Chesser is considered a top authority on climate change policy development at the state level and with regional initiatives (the Western Climate Initiative, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord). He is a contributing editor for Carolina Journal, specializing in investigative journalism and opinion writing. His articles have appeared in dozens of newspapers across the country, including The Washington Post, The Washington Times, Washington Examiner, San Francisco Examiner, National Review Online, The Weekly Standard Online, American Spectator and WORLD magazine. He is a regular contributor and blogger for American Spectator Online and for the Cooler Heads Coalition blog.

Chesser is responsible for exposing the secret work by the new Alliance for Climate Education to infiltrate high schools with global warming alarmism and to recruit students for their cause; involvement of the Western Governors Association in the Western Climate Initiative without unanimous consent of member governors (as is required by their bylaws), and plans by Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, chairman of the Southern Governors Association, to promote a Southern regional cap-and-trade plan at the annual SGA meeting.
