For Mother’s Day yesterday we were pleased to have Climate Mama herself, Harriet Shugarman. And wouldn’t you know, the Earth herself seemed to be telling us something when we lost power at about 10:45 AM (while I was hooking up Harriet’s compture to the projector) and did not get it back until the end of the Q&A!!
I must say that in my 15+ years as a member of the Society this has never happened before!
Here’s a picture of Harriet in the dark, winging it without any slides or videos followed by one from when the power was restored
Harriet’s message is that it is the scientific consensus that we are in the midst of climate change right now and there is no single path that will get us out of the situation. We, as a society, must follow many paths to get greenhouse gas emissions under control and prevent the disastrous tipping point beyond which we may lose our ability to regain control.
