"He has said that there will be over $100 trillion of economic construction and destruction in the next few years," said Beth Southern with EARTH MATTERS. "Climate change is real. It's a bigger problem than all of us know about. We have good plans to slow down that climate change. He will be talking about those plans."
The event will take place at Dillon Nature Center’s main building. There will be a light dinner at 5:30 p.m. with the talk following at 6:00 p.m. Reservations are required. The event $15 for members of DNC and $20 for non-members. The speech will examine the cause of climate change, the impacts to mankind driven by climate change, the plan and schedule to thwart climate change, and finally how mankind is reacting to the enormous impacts of climate change.
"Americans are aware of climate change," Southern said. "We need to do a little bit of changing our own lifestyle, too."
