San Diego Green Scene: January 20, 2015. with Adm. Len Hering (Ret.) - "The Climate Requires us to Change"

Event Summary:

Executive Director of the Center for Sustainable Energy Adm. Len Hering speaks with passion and facts about the climate change crisis that will impact everyone. He offers a global perspective that marries population growth, economic development and fossil fuel usage.  If we continue on the same path we will suffer the consequences of stronger storms, increased drought, disease migration and sea level rise. America's security risk related to climate change and resource conflicts with the developing world are consequences we can not afford. Adm. Hering is clear, we must change course, or we will end up where we are headed.
