Ten myths about climate change Are extreme weather events getting more extreme? Do we have 11 years before the window to “solve” climate change closes forever? Is it all just natural variability, with humans playing at most a bit part? And what about the Blob? Scientists began studying climate change over 100 years ago, and have uncovered many fascinating secrets about the Earth’s complex climate system. As heat-trapping gases accumulate, understanding and predicting the behavior of this complex system becomes ever more important, and often the science (sometimes very well-established, sometimes fresh and untested) plays out in the public sphere as never before. Come hear the state of the science of climate change, from the global scale to the Astoria area, from someone who has studied the subject for over 20 years. And bring your own questions. SM We are proud to partner with more than 129,000 Blue Sky customers, including the business leaders listed below. Thank you for supporting renewable energy development and creating a more sustainable future for our community.
