Dave O'Rourke is a marketing strategist from Marin County, California who serves as media contact and spokesman for 'A Climate Conversation,' a documentary directed by Walt Johnson that takes a Socratic approach to examining climate science and policy.
O'Rourke has described his personal journey from being an environmentally conscious electric vehicle owner and solar panel advocate to becoming a climate skeptic after watching the documentary. His background in liberal Marin County gives him a unique perspective on reaching audiences across the political spectrum.
He has appeared on the Kim Monson Show multiple times to promote the documentary, including its Colorado premiere at Rockley's Event Center. His presentations emphasize the film's approach of finding common ground through dialogue rather than political conflict, and highlight data including the estimated $290 trillion cost of net zero policies.
