Climate change is real, it’s serious, and it’s solvable! Through lecture and discussion, we’ll gain an understanding of where we are, how we got here, and what we can do about it. Various experts will take us on a journey exploring this multi-faceted issue. We’ll touch on science, alternative energies, human health, local impacts, national security, psychology, and justice issues. We’ll look at strategies for reducing emissions such as land use, transportation, and carbon pricing. Speakers will include volunteers with the non-partisan Citizens’ Climate Education and the Climate Reality Project.

Instructor Barbara Lucas is a journalist with a masters in Environmental Policy and will lead these sessions for those 50 and above. The Study Group will meet on Tuesdays from 5:30-7:30 p.m. from May 14 through May 21.
