  Numbers

  1,700 Focus the Nation events (and counting) are mobilizing tens of thousands of educators and will engage not thousands but one million students with elected officials on global warming solutions this Thursday.  

  More than 50 members of Congress including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are participating in Focus the Nation events along with hundreds of local and state politicians.

  Certainly 2% Solution web-cast guests Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman of the IPCC and renowned Climate Scientist Stephen Schneider don't think it's a pep rally.

  If Focus the Nation is a feel-good event, it's because getting educated on solutions and talking global warming policy with policy-makers feels good.
