SUMMARY:Climate  Change with Terry Root  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Lake County Audubon Society is sponsoring a special Climate Change Event with the Council of Ohio Audubon Chapters.\n \nOur featured speaker\, Dr Terry Root\, will speak on the topic: Our Rapidly Changing Climate is  Changing … Well … Everything. \nThis online program is on Tuesday \, September 8th\, 8:00 pm. There is no charge\, but advance registration is required. \nClick here to register. \n\nCOAC is proud to present this extraordinary opportunity to hear a terrific speaker with outstanding credentials! Dr. Terry Root is Professor Emerita at Stanford and lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change 4th Assessment Report that in 2007 was co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Vice President Al Gore. \nBack-to-back 100-year floods\, extended droughts\, and the polar vortex are all connected to the disruption of our climate due to greenhouse gas emissions. Since the late 1800s\, the average global temperature has increased about 1.8F (1C) and we are on track to surpass the Paris Agreement target of 2.7F (1.5C) by 2030. In response to this rapid warming\, much is changing on our planet\, including earlier spring warming so flowers are blooming and birds are breeding earlier. Species are moving to cooler areas on land and in the oceans. Unless we soon slow the rapid warming\, innumerable people will suffer due to heatwaves\, storm surges\, and spreading diseases. Additionally\, hundreds of thousands of species — including species we rely on — will face extinction. We must stop our fossil-fuel addiction to avoid such problems. \nThankfully\, there are many things that we can do\, collectively and individually\, to decrease the emissions of CO2.  We just need the will to do them. \n\nDr Terry L. Root is Professor Emerita at Stanford University. She was a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change 4th Assessment Report that in 2007 was co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Vice President Al Gore. Also\, she was a lead author for the 3rd Assessment Report (2001) and a Review Editor for the 5th Assessment Report (2014). In addition to other honors\, Root was awarded the Spirit of Defenders Award for Science by Defenders of Wildlife in 2010. She served on the National Audubon Board of Directors from 2010 to 2019\,and is on numerous science advisory boards. Root earned her undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of New Mexico\, her master’s degree in Biology from the University of Colorado and her doctorate in Biology from Princeton University.  She was a professor at the University of Michigan for 14 years\, and then at Stanford University for 15 years.  She now resides in Sarasota\, FL. \nIf you are concerned about our planet – attend!
