Flooding on Connecticut’s Shoreline (CIRCA/Jim O’Donnell)
After years of warning from scientists, the global climate crisis is impacting Americans across the country. This year, we’ve already seen unprecedented ice storms across Texas and one of the worst droughts in modern history in the west. But what kind of changes can we expect in Connecticut?
This hour on Disrupted, we dig into the ways our changing climate is affecting our state.
GUESTS:
- Kirby C. Stafford, Chief Entomologist for the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES)
- Jim O鈥橠onnell, Professor of Marine Sciences at the University of Connecticut and Executive Director of Connecticut Institute of Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA)
- J.D. Allen, Assistant news director and reporter for WSHU
