SUMMARY:Climate Change: Change is Coming to the Show-Me State
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we host Dr. Tomas W. Blaine\, Associate Extension Professor at Ohio State University\, where he explains the economic implications of climate change for Missourians and engages in a lively dialogue with a special focus on agriculture. \nDr. Blaine explains his webinars by saying\, “the way that I structure my presentation brings a lot of satisfaction to audience members who do not believe these kinds of questions have been adequately answered or explained by the scientific community. I present a history of the earth’s climate\, explaining why temperatures have fluctuated so much in the past. We go over the era of the dinosaurs\, the ice ages\, you name it\, we cover it. It turns out that audiences just love learning about Earth’s natural history – it’s a lot of fun.”
