Extreme Weather & Climate Change - What's our Response? Phil Nelson, PhD

Climate change brings dangerous challenges as extreme weather events like heat waves, floods, and wildfires impact Colorado and the U.S.  But will public awareness now support the necessary transition of the U.S. energy system to one capable of mitigating climate change? Can denialism be overcome? What are the prospects for national action?

Phil Nelson chairs the Golden Chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a volunteer nonpartisan group that promotes putting a price on carbon to counter climate change.  CCL’s plan will reduce greenhouse gases while actually boosting the economy.  Dr. Nelson is an MIT trained retired geophysicist.  citizensclimatelobby.org.
