Climate: How We Got Here with Bob Reiss

The past four decades have been the hottest in recorded history. Author and journalist Bob Reiss first sounded the alarm on climate change 25 years ago in The Coming Storm: Extreme Weather and Our Terrifying Future—recently re-released and praised by Bill McKibben as “the most readable and intelligent summary of global warming science and politics I have read.” He later explored the rapidly melting Arctic in The Eskimo and The Oil Man. Reiss will share insights from his work, reflect on where we are now, and take questions from the audience.
