We may be at the edge of our climate moment. Public opinion appears to be turning toward a fuller understanding of the impacts of climate change and the implications for our future. In this episode of World Ocean Radio host Peter Neill will suggest a way to form a viral revolution, concentrating our voices in one place--the office of the President of the United States--to demand a response to our expectations for action and change. 

Here is the message for the President:

Dear President Obama,

A recent legal case involving a man from Kiribati claiming refugee status from the impacts of climate has captured world media attention. In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will discuss the case and its implication for future refugees and will argue that developed economies are the responsible perpetrators of crimes against the defenseless victims of climate change.
