• Jay Fleisher (Part 1)
  Distinguished SUNY Teaching Professor Dr. Jay Fleisher presents an informed view of climate change, beginning by making a crucial distinction between weather (immediate) and climate (long range). He points out an array of longitudinal measurements which demonstrate both the kinds and pace of change – warming of the oceans; diminishing glaciers; and hence rising sea levels. Disastrous results are already occurring, with worse to come. His takeaway is that the problem is too big and taking place too slowly for the public to accept. And, indeed, we may have already passed a tipping point.
