SUMMARY:The Effect of Climate Change in CT
DESCRIPTION:As the world warms\, we will see changes in Connecticut\, some mild\, some more \nsevere. Dr. Mitch Wagener will explain how the addition of heat to the atmosphere and oceans will make our weather more \nchaotic. Sea levels will gradually rise and hurricanes and nor’easters will grow stronger \nquicker. Chances of extreme heat events will grow\, becoming a particular concern for \nseniors. As the planet warms\, disease vectors such as ticks and mosquitoes will \nexpand their ranges bringing new diseases with them. A warming planet will force more \npeople from their homes. We can best deal with these changes with ethics and humanity. \nDr. Mitch Wagener has been teaching ecology and climate change courses\, and related courses at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury since 1996. In 2019\, he received the Aquarion Environmental Champion Award\, Individual Communication category. That same year Dr. Wagener received an official citation from the Connecticut General Assembly for his efforts in climate change education and community service. His research interests include the impact of historical events—such as the Industrial Revolution—on the environment.
