There is broad disagreement in the public sphere, although little in scientific circles, about the urgency of climate change.

Dr. Catherine Duckett will discuss how the climate system is controlled and how climate projections are made. This will help the audience draw their own conclusions about the relative urgency of this situation.  Dr. Duckett will also discuss actual and ongoing environmental catastrophes mediated by climate change that have appeared in the very recent news and that are impacting humans and creatures.
