本周全美有超過1500所大學、學院與高級中學進行探索全球暖化的行動，活動主辦者稱此為美國史上最大型的教學活動。
這項全國性的創始活動，是由知名環保團體-溫室聯合網絡(Green House Network)所發起的計劃，稱為「關注國內」(Focus the Nation)。此項計劃的概念源自於奧勒岡州波特蘭路易斯克拉克學院的經濟學教授-古德斯坦(Eben Goodstein)。
古德斯坦教授25日在位於南卡羅萊納州的克萊姆森大學(Clemson University)揭開計畫的序幕；這一天同時也是奧勒岡州舉行美國總統初選的前一天。
古德斯坦教授表示，「我對於計畫在克萊姆森大學揭幕，感到相當激動。克萊姆森大學與復育研究中心，無論在思想或是創新研究方面， 已成為此範疇的領導者；而美國也需要擺脫宿命論，並投入清淨能源的革新，同時結合南卡羅萊納州選民的政治意願，使克萊姆森大學能夠順利推動『關注國內』的計劃。」
Global warming is being explored at more than 1,500 universities, colleges and high schools across the country this week in what organizers are calling the largest teach-in in American history.
The nationwide initiative, called Focus the Nation, is a project of the Green House Network, an environmental advocacy group. The idea originated with Eben Goodstein, a professor of economics at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
He kicked off Focus the Nation on Friday at Clemson University in South Carolina, the day before the state's presidential primary race.
"I am thrilled to have our national kickoff at Clemson University," said Goodstein, "Clemson is already a leader with their Restoration Institute in exactly the kind of thinking and innovation that this country needs to move beyond fatalism and launch a clean energy revolution. The research talent at the university, combined with the political will of South Carolina voters, makes Clemson a perfect fit to launch Focus the Nation."
