The UF Department of Soil and Water Sciences and UF/IFAS Extension Service recently released a new report about climate change in Florida in a reader-friendly, science-based Q&A format.
Some of the questions addressed in the publication include:
- How do we know the climate is changing?
- What are greenhouse gasses and where do they come from?
- Is climate changing in Florida, and what are the long-term projections?
- Why are sea levels rising?
The document stemmed from a project the team worked on last year with Thriving Earth Exchange. Residents and employees of the city of Hallandale Beach attended a forum with the aim to increase climate literacy for the city staff. At the forum, staff members had the opportunity to ask questions about climate change directly to scientists.
The announcement of the publication and the full pdf are both available online.
