Ride for Climate

From 2005 to 2007, climate expert David Kroodsma bicycled from California to the tip of South America. He then flew to the east coast of the United States, joined fellow climate activist Bill Bradlee, and the two biked back to California.

Over the course of this journey, David gave 150 presentations about global warming, speaking in English and Spanish to audiences in 16 countries, and he appeared in 70 different media outlets across the hemisphere. As David traveled, educating about climate change, he himself gained powerful insight into the risks our planet and our species face.

David has authored a book, The Road to Tierra del Fuego: my 21,000-mile ride for the climate, and he is now sharing multimedia presentations about his journey, calling for action on global warming and promoting the idea of global citizenship.

Advance Praise for David Kroodsma and
The Road to Tierra del Fuego:

"When scientist David Kroodsma talks about global warming, people listen--because he's on a bike." Bicycling Magazine
