Mayor Marty Blum
& other city and county officials		 Strangely enough, this page from the SB Bicycle Coalition is a better source than those provided by the city's official website.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
via his office		 This is the official page from the state. Although it may be a long shot, be patient and persistent.
Steveo, Russ, Jesse Other science-minded teachers at SBMS. You can ask them for an interview or an email statement. (You might tell them that Victor has submitted an article that's on the Teen Press site.)
Brian Fagan
Retired UCSB Archaeology Professor		 He wrote the book The Little Ice Age: How Climate Affects History which documents a possible and counter-intuitive effect of global warming. (Waiting for contact info for him.)
Here are some resources for tracking down people to interview. Remember that if you GET an appointment for an interview, you will need to research the person and their views on global warming!

Sample Phone or Email Dialog

"Hi, my name is _____________________, and I'm a member of the SBMS Teen Press. It's a website published by Santa Barbara Middle School, where I'm a student. We're researching the issue of global warming, and we were hoping that ___(you/the Mayor/the Governor/or...)___would be willing to give us an interview sometime in the next two weeks.

  • Is that possible?

  • When can we schedule it?

  • (It can be over the phone, if that works better.)

  • Our website address is www.sbmsteenpress.org.
