Relate it to how they can make a change, for example switching lights off and all that b*llocks
I would not think that going in too heavy with facts would help as they would lose interest. Perhaps things like "when you are 30 the price of gas will have tripled" (which it probably will!)
When i do presentations at work (slightly different target audience but what the hey!) I always try and do an icebreaker exercise. Its very cliched
but it does relax your audience and encourages them to participate. The worst thing is when you get to the end of the show and there are no Questions. That would mean that you have either covered of EVERYTHING there is to know about global warming, or that they simply arent interested.
I try(!) and do this by taking lots of different topics, doing the prep on them and only scratching the surface, leaving a lot of room for questions on the subject.
So you could talk a little about
:
Fuel usage
Effects on the environment
Social responsibilities
Corporate responsibilities (an area which i feel needs a lot more focus)
New research and ideas/initiatives
etc etc
And let the audience develop the most interesting areas.
Please dont quote me on any of this as i am simply rambling from experience and i know little of the facts.
Good luck!
