Free online event discussing climate change offered

Press release

Citizens’ Climate Education/Lobby Montana is hosting a free online event called Conserving Our Future: The What and Why of Weird Weather Thursday, May 20, at 7 p.m., where panelists will address questions Montanans are asking like, asking, “How will it affect me, my family and my town? Also, can we do anything about it, and are there solutions we all can agree on that will conserve our forests, agriculture, rivers, and air for future generations?”

The panelists will show how effective solutions can bring real opportunities for a healthier and more prosperous America.

The featured speaker is Scott Denning, Ph.D., from Colorado State University, who’ll  explain weird weather in a way that makes sense in his talk, “Simple. Serious. Solvable.” He also will be open to any questions.

Denning is author of more than 100 papers in the professional climate literature, he’s served on advisory panels for the US Department of Energy, NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Science Foundation. As a young man he was a geologist working in the oil industry in Montana and North Dakota. He has presented to a variety of groups, including the Heartland Institute.

Attendees also will hear perspectives from retired Billings pediatrician Marian Kummer, Clearwater Credit Union’s Paul Herendeen, and Logan Mannix from Mannix Grassfed Beef on how these trends impact health, pocketbooks and food. 

Attendees will come away with a more solid understanding of the changing Montana weather and effective solutions. 

The event is presented by the Montana chapters of Citizens’ Climate Education/Lobby, a nonpartisan, volunteer-driven nonprofit building support for bipartisan climate solutions.
