Tues Nov 18, The Vineyard Haven Library Evening Lectures continues with our distinguished guest Dr. George Woodwell form Woods Hole Research Center. His topic is: Global Climatic Disruption: The Only New World Requires Turning Down the Heat. There is a new world coming. It is the world we generate by allowing the climatic disruption we have triggered, and still wantonly feed, to run full course and substantially crush this civilization. Or it is the world we build by checking, and then reversing, the climatic disruption. The reversal is essential. It requires substantially immediately abandoning fossil fuels and managing forests globally to stabilize the atmosphere and restore climatic stability. It can be done, but it will take bold leadership by scientists and by governments starting in the United States now and with a schedule of years, not decades.
