and animal and plant species around the world. Here in the United States, and
especially on Cape Cod, climate change is likely to cause more heat
stress, rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, worsening air quality,
and concerns about water quantity and quality as well as the degradation of
coastal ecosystems. Come and find out what we as individuals can do, what
positive effects renewable energy (solar, wind) can have on our efforts to slow
climate change. Join Pat Harcourt, Outreach Educator as we sort through
some of the hype and answer some common questions about this fascinating topic.</span></font></p>
