CLIMATE CHANGE: IS IT REAL? IS IT A HOAX?

Global Warming and Climate Change 

CLIMATE CHANGE:  IS IT REAL?  IS IT A HOAX?
Learn the facts.  Weigh the evidence.  You decide.

The Lackawaxen River Conservancy and SEEDS (Sustainable Energy Education Development Support) are hosting a presentation of The Climate Reality Project on Tuesday, June 19, 2012, at 7 pm, at the PPL Environmental Center, Rte. 6, Hawley. 

The Climate Reality Project is dedicated to bringing factual information about the climate crisis into the mainstream and engaging the public in conversation about effective solutions.  Founded and chaired by Al Gore, Nobel Laureate and former U.S. Vice President, The Climate Reality Project has more than 5 million members and supporters worldwide. It is guided by one simple truth: The climate crisis is real and we know how to solve it.

Presenter Hilde Binford will address climate change as an urgent crisis that must be addressed not simply by altering our personal lifestyle, but more effectively by individuals and communities coming together to develop real, systemic, and innovative solutions. 

Hilde Binford was a member of one of the first groups to train with Al Gore in January of 2007, and she has been making presentations and leading workshops about climate change ever since.  At Moravian College, she co-teaches a multi-disciplinary course entitled Climate Crises: Past, Present and Future.  For the past three years, she has led the college delegation to the United Nations meetings on climate change held in Copenhagen, TianJin, Cancun, and Bonn.

The program is free of charge and all are welcome to attend.

For the record- I never believed in the Global Warming or Global Cooling Concept - I felt that the natural buffering system would become overwhelmed and we would see more significant swings in regional climate, i.e., Climate Change.   Now have we caused or caused to increase faster than nature - I would say - Yes - we are the ones that cut down the forest, put more carbon and other gases in the air - if we were not here on this planet - the Climate and Environment would be significantly different.
