With Paul Bourdeau, Marine Biologist:

What is climate change, and why should we be concerned about it? Although rapid global climate change is not unusual, the current warming is unprecedented, because it is primarily caused by humans. We will review scientific evidence on climate change, including what it is, what causes it, and its effects on global climate. Then we’ll focus on how it will influence the ocean, marine life, and ocean-related activities on the California coast, and the local research being done.
