Through his non-profit initiative, ClimateVoice, Dr. Weihl aims to mobilize the workforce to encourage companies to go "all in" on climate -- especially by using their voice and influence to support public policy, everywhere they operate. Note: References to "John" and "Hal" throughout the talk are to John Doerr and Hal Harvey, whose Countdown talk was featured before this one at the TEDxClimateChangeAI event.

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches' (making it the first film to win an Emmy on behalf of the internet).
