Arctic Meltdown: Why it Matters to Us
Does it seem as though the weather gods have gone crazy lately? It is not your imagination. The question on everyone’s minds is why, and is it related to climate change?
Dr. Jennifer Francis, an atmospheric scientist studying Arctic weather and climate, will explain how increasing extreme weather events are connected with the rapidly warming and melting Arctic during recent decades.
Dr. Francis is joined in conversation by Dr. Heather Goldstone, journalist and scientist overseeing Woodwell Climate Research Center’s communications. The two will discuss the evidence that suggests how Arctic warming is causing weather patterns to become more persistent, which can lead to extremes such as prolonged droughts, cold spells, heat waves, snowy winters, and flooding events.
This talk is part of the Life Saves the Planet lecture series.
