Saturday Morning Physics | Climate Change Opportunities and Challenges for Michigan
Dr. Jonathan Overpeck – Samuel A. Graham Dean and William B. Stapp Collegiate Professor of Environmental Education (U-M SEAS)
Climate change is already impacting the planet in dramatic ways, including in the U.S. and in the Great Lakes region. The impacts in Michigan, although not negligible, are modest compared to much of the country, and thus our state could become a go-to destination for many businesses and people fleeing more severe climate change impacts in other parts of the country. However, if climate change is not curbed, Michigan also runs the risk of becoming a sacrifice zone; thus quick action on climate change could be a win-win for our state.
