CLIMATE CHANGE
Research, Education and Advocacy
Climate change is considered by most of the scientific community to be an existing condition that threatens the economic and health environment of the entire planet.
​
"Climate Change is already happening. More heat waves, greater sea level rise, and other changes with consequences for human health, natural ecosystems, and agriculture are already occurring in the United States and worldwide. These problems are very likely to become worse over the next 10-20 years and beyond."
