Mitigate, Adapt, or Suffer: Living With Climate Change

The science behind climate change has been understood since the late 19thcentury, but it is the response of the 21st century that will determine the course of the future. Come take a guided tour of the basic science behind earth’s climate, the drivers of climate change and the range of responses available to us on a personal and cultural level: mitigation, adaptation and suffering.

Debra Tillinger holds a PhD in ocean and climate physics from Columbia University. She works at the American Museum of Natural History as an educator on climate change and at Marymount Manhattan College as an adjunct professor of physics. Her recent research is based at NASA/GISS and focuses on the effects of declining sea ice on global climate. In addition to formal science education, Dr. Tillinger also presents scientific information through the arts in character as “Dr. Mermaid.”

Entry to our 100-year-old building and meeting rooms is available for most wheelchair users with prior arrangements. Please call ahead  (212-874-5210 x107) for setup of our portable system and plan to arrive one hour before start time.
