On Wednesday, December 6, National Geographic launched its “Years of Living Dangerously” series on climate change. To mark the event, Citizens Climate Lobby is encouraging local U.S. chapters to host house parties, beginning December 8, so members can get together to watch and discuss the series.

In this two-minute teaser, actor Bradley Whitford (he played White House Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman on the NBC television drama “The West Wing") challenges viewers to do the uncomfortable—reach out to people they disagree with, and find some common ground on the global warming issue.

Discouraged by the lack of interest and progress by politicians, Whitford says the good news is that the people are way ahead of the politicians when it comes to understanding how dire the situation is.
