Hot Science - Cool Talks: “Global Warming - Lone Star Impacts”
NOTE*: The locations have changed a few times, so double check on the official website to be sure.
DESCRIPTION: Climate change is coming to Texas but how much and in what ways will Texas be affected by global warming? Will central Texas become a desert? Will rainfall actually increase? Will there be more wildfires? Will there be more hurricanes? What kind of climate change does Texas need to be ready for? Climate expert Gerald North will discuss climate change and its effects on the Lone Star state and its people. More details can be found at www.esi.utexas.edu .
