Solutions for the Climate Crisis: Why debate persists and what we can do about it
Date: September 11, 2024
Time: 7:30 – 8:45 p.m. ET
Much has been written about the persistent denial of the science of global warming and push back against potential solutions. This presentation will discuss some of the issues that cause persistent denial and suggestions on how we can overcome these roadblocks and start a dialog on climate. I will present some of my ‘go to’ sources that address the most popular skeptics’ arguments. Method towards developing a climate dialog derived from personal experience, discussions with others, and in the literature will be presented.
