Join us for this series of monthly talks by Dr. Stephen “Mitch” Wagener of the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences at Western Connecticut State University on our changing climate and the impact it has on our Earth.

Climate Refugees: Past and Future

Droughts and floods have dislocated people throughout history. As Earth’s climate has warmed both wet and dry weather events have grown stronger and more frequent. More people, particularly those least responsible, bear an increased burden.

Lecture on February 28, 2022 - How Hot is too HOT?

Climate warming makes heat waves hotter and more common. Heat raises humidity. Combinations of heat and humidity can exceed our bodies’ ability to cool us.

Lecture on March 28, 2022 - Stronger storms and Rising seas

Heat is power. Water expands, seas rise, storms get stronger. Flooding coastal areas destroy homes, salinize agricultural land, and cause financial hardships for us all.

Lecture on April 25, 2022 - Climate Hope: How do we fix this?

Escaping old habits and forming new attitudes will allow us to cut our emissions, regenerate the biosphere and create a better world for our grandchildren.

For ages 16+
