Many thanks to Joyce Breiner and Poolesville Green, Inc. for the thoughtful and informative presentation on the science, consequences, and solutions of Climate Change. Climate Change is not weather, but it does have devastating effects on the weather.
Warming surface and ocean temperatures are causing a decrease in sea ice and an increase in permafrost thawing, an increase in heat waves and heavy precipitation, and decreased water resources in semi-arid regions. The resulting increased water vapor in the atmosphere becomes fuel for more powerful storms to develop with increased frequency.
Judging by the number of follow-up questions, our audience was extremely interested in electric vehicles. Watch our website for a return presentation on that subject. This event was not recorded for continued viewing. Follow this link below for further resources.
