| Friends, The global scientific community continues to issue increasingly dire warnings about the threats that climate change poses to humanity and the natural world. Yet, our society is failing to take the drastic steps needed to avoid planetary catastrophe. With the sea level along the U.S. coastline projected to rise, on average, 10 – 12 inches in the next 30 years, New York City is at extreme risk. It is vital that New Yorkers take a leading role in the fields of green energy, sustainability, conservation and resiliency. Please join us for an online conversation and Q&A about these issues with Julie Tighe, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters, next Thursday, March 2nd, at 5:30 PM. |
