Climate Change: Science and Consequences for Colorado
This workshop/seminar focused on Climate Change caused by human activity and the looming consequences for Colorado and the West. The purpose is to focus on the underlying reasons for the goal of diminishing our carbon footprint.
Presentations on the specific evidence were presented including refutations of a number of the myths presented by Climate Change Denial extremists.
The afternoon session focused on the consequences of climate change on both the natural world and elements of Colorado's economy. The workshop finished with thoughts on the moral and philosophical ideas of stewardship of the earth.
We have high quality video of the entire day and are currently raising funds for creating an full video report of the day. If you would be interested in helping to complete this project please
