DESCRIPTION

In 2006, TBI, along with the Center for American Progress and the American Environics issued a white paper titled: A Plan for Global Warming Preparedness: A Proposal to Manage Risk & Invest in Resilient CommunitiesIn November 2005, the Nathan Cummings Foundation supported the Breakthrough Institute and the Center for American Progress (CAP) to conduct research and develop one or more Strategic Initiatives that would better prepare America for future disasters. Together, Breakthrough and CAP developed a proposal for “Global Warming Preparedness,” which reframes global warming from prevention to preparedness, from certainty to uncertainty, and from limits on human activity to greater activity.TBI’s paper also includes some spiffy posters for a marketing campaign. Why would TBI prepare marketing tools if climate change wasn’t real?
