SUMMARY:How to Instigate Action
DESCRIPTION:Camden Public Library. \nCamden Talks Climate “How to Instigate Action on Climate Change\,” with Kerry Emanuel\, MIT Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Science at MIT. Property insurance rates are skyrocketing in Camden and nationwide due in large part to catastrophes like wildfires in Los Angeles and hurricanes in Florida that are caused or worsened by climate change. Yet the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change continue to rise\, and little is being done to adapt infrastructure to handle the change. Emanuel argues that this inaction and\, even worse\, migration from less risky to more risky places\, are natural consequences of tax and insurance systems that subsidize building and rebuilding in high-risk locations. Professor Emanuel will present ideas for reversing this migration and sensible measures to deal with our changing climate.

Screening of Belfast filmmaker Jim Merkel’s Saving Walden’s World as part of the free monthly series Camden Talks Climate. The showing will be followed by a Q&A and audience discussion with Merkel and Camden-based permaculture educator Joline Blais. \nThe award-winning film tells the compelling story of how individuals and communities can make profound impacts on the planet. Saving Walden’s World explores the urgent need for ecological balance through stories of resilience\, sustainability\, and hope in Slovenia\, Cuba\, and Kerala\, India.
