Inquiry: Heidi Cullen: THE WEATHER OF THE FUTURE

There is no doubt our climate is changing, but how do climatologists know how much it is going to change and what is causing these changes? Tonight’s guest on Inquiry is HEIDI CULLEN, senior research scientist with Climate Central and well known to many of us from her numerous appearances on the Weather Channel. Her new book, THE WEATHER OF THE FUTURE: HEAT WAVES, EXTREME STORMS AND OTHER SCENES FROM A CLIMATE CHANGED PLANET is a wonderful introduction to the science of climatology and explains clearly how we know what we know about climate change. Tune in and learn about key examples of places on earth where climate change is already an issue of paramount importance. This includes the San Joaquin Delta in California and New York City New York.
