Global Warming Risks and Solutions
Human activity over the past 150 years, has caused the planet to warm sufficiently so that we are now seeing extreme weather events, ranging from droughts, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, ocean acidification and more – simultaneously across the globe. These results are the climate change damages that scientists and activist have been warning about for decades. Oregon has taken a leadership role in passing public policy to transition the state to a clean energy future, and this talk will discuss what’s being done in Oregon, what more needs to be supported, and how do we have a global impact?

Global Temperature: Why So Little Means So Much!
Public awareness of the climate crisis is growing but support for mitigation efforts is still insufficient to reach the goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial. Some of the science, which is truly alarming for those who understand them, are confusing and mysterious to those who don’t. Humans all over the planet conduct their daily lives in temperatures that range from -50°F to over 100°F, so they are understandably confused when scientists describe the dire consequences of a further increase in Earth’s annual average temperature of only 1.8°F (1°C). MCAT produced this short video created by Dr. Pat DeLaquil, to help build understanding of why so little means so much!
