Climate change is a serious issue and a topic that many citizens believe we need to address. But where do we start? This discussion guide provides alternative arguments about the best way to address the problem of climate change. Using this framework can help citizens grapple with the choices and tradeoffs involved. The discussion guide is designed to help citizens decide on the policies and practices we should develop to meet the challenges of climate change. The three approaches presented in the guide are:

• Strong government action to prevent and minimize the worst consequences of climate change.
• Help vulnerable communities adapt to the consequences of climate change.
• Trust the free market to lead the way in the search for solutions.
