A professor at Brooklyn College recently published a series of articles on the official campus website in which he associated climate change skeptics with early Holocaust deniers.

"I make my 'climate change denier' claim for one reason," wrote Micha Tomkiewicz, himself a Holocaust survivor. "It's easy today to teach students to condemn the Holocaust, but it's much more difficult to teach them how to try to prevent future genocides...I don't want my grandchildren to die in a climate change genocide that we could have helped head off," he continued.

Tomkiewicz, also warned that failure to take decisive action on global warming could result in the death of "billions of people."

"The consequences [of global warming] amount to to global suicide - a self inflicted genocide," wrote Tomkiewicz on April 22. "We must mitigate this possible future genocide, but we need our collective will to do so."

Facebook can be a great organizing, activism, information intelligence, communication, and marketing tool for activists and organizers.

Student groups and activists should make full use of its benefits:

• Creating a place online on where people on Facebook can find you
• Identifying like-minded students and non-student supporters
• Circulating online petitions against your opposition and for your cause(s)
• Staying informed about what like-minded campus, local, state, and national organizations are doing and can offer your group
• Staying informed about what opposition groups on the campus, local, state, and national levels are doing and saying
• Communicating individually or in mass with your members, supporters, alumni, donors, or with the "general public" of your Facebook friends
  
  • Spreading your CampusReform.org blog posts to more people
