    Featured Discussion

    South Florida is at the center of the national -- and even international -- climate conversation. Few places have as many people and as much money at risk of being wiped away by flooding and stronger storms, or more of their health and economy at risk from the increasingly hot days. Alex Harris has covered how climate change affects the region for nearly a decade for the Miami Herald, and she has a front-row seat to the difficulties of communicating the risks of global warming to a broad audience. Come chat about ways to better communicate climate change and scientific uncertainty with your audience.
