"The first seminar I was invited to was on global warming and climate change. I had no idea what FREE was or who John Baden was, but the invitation mentioned some of those who had already agreed to attend, and one of them was a scientist I had got to know well, and to trust...I took his selection as a good sign, joined the seminar, signed on for more, and have never been disappointed."

— Professor Thomas C. Schelling, Nobel Laureate Economics
