Reference excerpt

Kalee Kreider (born 1971) is an American public affairs and environmental adviser. She is President of Ridgely Walsh, a boutique public affairs agency based in Washington, D.C. She was the Chief of Content at The National Geographic Society. She was the former environmental adviser and spokesperson for Al Gore. In this role, she helped develop the materials for An Inconvenient Truth. She is a senior adviser for the United Nations Foundation.

Education and early career Kreider was born in Columbus, Ohio. She studied history at Rollins College, which she graduated in 1992. She joined Rollins College because of Pedro Pequeño, an anthropologist. She began her career as a Truman Fellow in the Clinton Administration. She was selected as the White House Scholar-in-Residence, where she worked on the Clinton Crime Bill. She left the White House to set up a non-governmental organization called Ozone Action. She worked for Greenpeace and the National Environment Trust (now one of The Pew Charitable Trusts). During her time at Greenpeace, Kreider negotiated the Kyoto Protocol.

Career After the 2000 United States presidential election, it became obvious that the Kyoto Protocol was not going to be ratified. Kreider left climate policy, and started a position at Fenton Communications. She was recruited to Al Gore's team to help write a speech about the Iraq War. Kreider moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where she moved in 2006 to join the Office for Al Gore. She served as Gore's environmental adviser. During this time, she researched and marketed Al Gore's best-selling books and the film An Inconvenient Truth. The work she did with Gore contributed to his Nobel Peace Prize. In 2013 Kreider established her own consultancy, Kreider Strategies LLC. The consultancy provided information about climate change and technology. In 2019 she was made Chief of Content at the National Geographic Society, where she will lead corporate communications and public affairs. She is a Senior Adviser for the United Nations Foundation and Vulcan Inc. She has called for more women to be involved with monitoring and mitigating climate change.

Personal life Kreider is married to Jack Pratt, a farmer turned politician.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kalee Kreider

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kalee Kreider claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kalee Kreider before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kalee Kreider ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kalee Kreider

In research: Kalee Kreider appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kalee Kreider in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kalee Kreider is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1971 births, Environmental protection, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kalee Kreider outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
