BIO

Laurie David is devoted to stopping global warming. She founded the Stop Global Warming Virtual March with Senator John McCain and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. that is encouraging religious leaders, labor unions, elected officials, business leaders, and everyday Americans to urge the United States to address the ticking time bomb that is global warming.

In addition to the Virtual March, Ms. David has produced several other projects that bring the issue of global warming into mainstream popular culture -- including authoring the bestselling book, The Solution is You: Stop Global Warming - An Activist's Guide, executive producing the comedy special, "Earth to America!" for TBS, which aired November 20, 2005 to millions of viewers and featured Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell, Steve Martin and Jack Black among many others. The show garnered rave reviews and sparked hundreds of TV, print and radio stories about global warming.

She is a producer of the Academy Award winner AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, a documentary film based on former Vice President Al Gore's thirty years of research on global warming. This film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and at the Cannes Film Festival, and has been awarded the prestigious Stanley Kramer Award from the Producers Guild of America, the Critics Choice Award for Best Documentary, a rare Humanitas Prize Special Award.
