Climate Science on Tap – Going to Extremes: Is it Climate Change or Just Bad Weather? – Jan 30
How is climate change impacting weather in our region? Will floods and droughts be the new normal? And how will people and wildlife cope? The scientists will examine the relationship between extreme weather events and our changing climate in riveting presentations and a lively panel discussion of the impacts to the people and the ecosystem and what to expect, as well as how to communicate effectively to refute false representations from climate deniers or the uninformed.
Come to this latest in the Climate Science on Tap series for a panel presentation with climate scientists and researchers on the relationship between climate change and extreme weather events and what cognitive science has to share on climate change communication.
