SOUTHWORTH PLANETARIUM SCIENCE LECTURE SERIES:

"The End of Climate Change"
Thursday, December 17, 2015    7:00 p.m.
at the Southworth Planetarium

Admission by donation.

The title speaks to the reality that accelerating rates of change in our
chemical and physical climate are a reality of the 21st century, and will
persist throughout the lifetimes of everyone alive on the planet today.
This is not the latest environmental issue that will come and go with
suitable policy and management. While the urgency to limit greenhouse gas
emissions grows greater each day, so too does the need to make
cost-effective, evidence-based decisions about adaptation options. The talk
will focus on Maine, a recent update of an assessment of Maine's climate
future, insights on how these changes influence various sectors of Maine's
economy and the lives of Maine citizens.

Refreshments will be served.
