Event Details

Climate change is a very intense topic which finds its way into political, business and social conversations, often with vocal disagreement among participants. We now know that the situation has reached a critical state, as 2023 had the warmest temperatures since we started measurements in 1850.  We are past the time to question whether there is a problem and are at the point of needing to address the situation.

This presentation will give background information about the phenomenon and methods which have been used to characterize these changes, as well as summarize some consequences which have been experienced and what can be expected for the future. We will then consider solutions to the problem. Participants will be able to share their views using personal response devices and to compare their replies to those of more than 5,000 members of previous audiences.  

Presented by award winning environmental scientist Dr. Andy Jorgensen
