Dear Earthwatcher,

Many thanks for all of your support for this year's Beat the Heat Climate Change Campaign, which will conclude this evening with a special event in Boston featuring the esteemed Dr. William Moomaw, a leading expert on climate change.

Beat the Heat reenergized all of us in our efforts to support the scientists undertaking critically important climate change research, and has engaged a new group of people in Boston and beyond. My special thanks must go to our leading sponsors State Street, First Wind, and Wainwright Bank, and to all those who donated items to our auction.

There's still time to do your part for Beat the Heat before 2010 comes to a close: consider joining a climate change expedition in 2011, or support our research programs with a donation to the Beat the Heat Cause on Facebook.

Warm regards,

Ed Wilson,
President and CEO
Earthwatch Institute
