From the oppressive heat waves and water shortages in the West to historic cold snaps and furious storms across Texas and the East Coast, the telltale signs of a rapidly changing climate are no longer off in the future but are already happening. So now what? Dr. Bruce Stein hosted a conversation with two of the Federation’s climate experts, Patty Glick and Shannon Heyck-Williams, to discover what we can do on both the climate mitigation and adaptation fronts, and how scientists and experts are employing these approaches to protect both wildlife and people in our warming world.
