ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free presentation, “Hotter, Wetter, Weirder: Climate Change in Philadelphia”, on Monday, April 21 at 6:30 PM. Mike Weilbacher, naturalist/writer/educator/consultant, will be the speaker. In recent years, our region has been hit by an epic drought, heat waves, wildfire smoke, and flooding from 1,000-year storms. Yes, climate change is already happening in the Philly region as our climate gets hotter, wetter, and decidedly weirder. But what’s the evidence for climate change locally? What are the trends in temperature and rainfall? And what does the data say? You’ll not only be surprised, but motivated to find solutions. In this must-see lecture, Mike Weilbacher carefully walks you through the science while answering your many questions about the defining issue of our time. The author of Wild Philly: Explore the Amazing Nature in and Around Philadelphia, Mike travels the region offering lectures and walks on topics climate change, microplastics, the monarch butterfly’s migration, and more. This event is free and open to the public. The program will also be livestreamed on Zoom for those unable to attend in person.
