Climate Change and Extreme Weather: Impacts on Public Health and Agriculture
Climate change manifests itself in ways far beyond a slowly rising global mean surface temperature. Scientific data is making the public increasingly aware that a changing climate causes alterations in size, strength and frequency of storms, droughts, floods and other weather events, with significant potential consequences for public health, agriculture, biodiversity and social systems.
On April 10th, the Managing our Planet series will convene a panel of experts to discuss the outlook and impacts of extreme weather events that scientists see as connected to climate change.
The 鈥淢anaging the Planet鈥 seminar series 鈥 developed jointly by George Mason University and the 乐鱼 体育鈥檚 Brazil Institute and Environmental Change and Security Program 鈥 addresses planetary scale problems and solutions.
