ONLINE: The UW Now
press release: Stream at the WAA YouTube channel.
July 13: From record-breaking temperatures in the Pacific Northwest to tropical storm Elsa in the Northeast, summer is heating up coast to coast like nothing we’ve seen in our lifetimes. Why is this happening now, and how much more of it can we expect? Can we reverse or mitigate these trends — or is it a matter of adapting to them?
On the next edition of The UW Now Livestream series: a discussion about the impact of emerging climate trends. The talk will be moderated by Mike Knetter, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association.
