Newtown Environmentalist to Present Climate Change Program

Newtown Township Environmental Advisory Council member Steve Bacher will be doing a presentation on climate change this Saturday at the municipal building.

The presentation, called ”Climate Disruption -- Connecting the Dots,” is a chance to learn about climate change on the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy.

The program begins at 10 a.m. and will last approximately 90 minutes. The event is open to the public; no RSVP required.

Bacher submitted the following information about the program to Patch:

“The Climate Reality Project‘s slide show was made famous in the film An Inconvenient Truth (2006). It is continually updated with the latest science and data on climate change, including conclusions supported by 97% of the world’s climate scientists, presented for a lay audience. Topics covered include the cause of global warming, historic data on temperature changes in the U.S. and worldwide, historic data on frequency of severe flooding, droughts and fires, as well as projections for the remainder of the century. There are also photos and videos that illustrate the floods, droughts and fires which are increasingly common worldwide.”
