Climate Up Close believes Americans should reach their own judgments about climate science, by seeing the evidence for themselves and putting their questions directly to climate scientists.
Are you interested in Climate Science and would like to ask scientist your most pressing questions around Climate Change? Climate Up Close scientist will contextualize climate impacts that you might be reading in the news, which impacts are settled science and which are uncertain or speculative. They will also cover questions that are central to how scientists think about the problem, but are not often featured in the public conversation. For instance, what happens to the temperature if we stop emitting carbon? How confident are we that there are tipping points in the Earth system?
This event features a 45-minute presentation that covers what scientists know about climate change, explores the boundary of current climate knowledge, details how climate change impacts extreme weather, and offers perspectives on what the future may hold.
The presentation is followed by 30 minutes of Q&A and then informal mingling time.
