CLIMATE SCIENTISTS AND CONSERVATIVE LEADERS ALIKE HAVE RECOGNIZED THE VALUE OF THE PRIMER AND C-CHANGE'S APPROACH. AS JACK CIATTARELLI, NEW JERSEY'S REPUBLICAN GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE, SAID: "C-CHANGE CONVERSATIONS IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON CLIMATE CHANGE. NAMELY, IN A VERY NON-PARTISAN WAY, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUE NOT AS A POLITICAL ONE, BUT AS A HUMAN ONE.
