SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join a lively discussion of On The Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America by Abrahm Lustgarten. The award-winning investigative journalist\, filmmaker\, and public speaker specializes in human adaptation to climate change. \nFrom the author’s website:\n“Reporting from the front lines of climate migration\, Lustgarten explains how a pattern of shortsighted policies encouraged millions to settle in vulnerable parts of the country\, and introduces us to homeowners in California\, insurance customers in Florida\, and ranchers in Colorado who are being forced to make the agonizing choice of when\, not whether\, to leave. Employing the most current climate data and predictive models\, he shows how America’s population will be squeezed northward into a shrinking triangle of land stretching from Tennessee to Maine to the Great Lakes. The places many of us now call home are at risk\, and On the Move reveals how we’ll deal with the consequences.” \nDate: Sunday\, September 29\nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.\nLocation: online meeting; details emailed with registration confirmation\nCost: free to FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members\nAges: 12 and up \n\nReserve Now\n
