“Professor” Hester will introduce the documentary “Rising Tide: Climate Change and the World’s Oceans” from the Great Decisions series published by the Foreign Policy Association.
Accepting that Climate Change is real and as a result, sea levels are on the rise, around the world. The video and next week’s discussion focuses on what we as citizens of the United States and citizens of the World can do about it. Is a reduction in the projection of average global temperature of 2 degrees Centigrade possible by 2050? Can the United States make a meaningful contribution by itself? Can, and should, the US be the global leader in reducing the causes of climate change?
This is the first of a two part presentation. The documentary that we will see in Part 1, is 26 minutes long. You can view it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA1ZxzkUHNI Next week, Harris will discuss the questions raised above and take your comments and questions. Credentials for the meeting will be sent by email.
Harris is a lecturer at NCC’s Lifetime Learners program. He plans to use some of this material in a course planned for next year. Harris’s CV Hester, Harris
