The Weather of the Future

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 30, 2010

Heidi Cullen, senior research scientist with Climate Central, looks at climate change not just as an event set to happen in the distant future, but as something happening right now. Her book The Weather of the Future: The Weather of the Future: Heat Waves, Extreme Storms, and Other Scenes from a Climate-Changed Planet, combines the latest research from scientists on the ground, with state-of-the-art climate-model projections in order to create climate-change scenarios for seven of the most at-risk locations around the world—from the Central Valley of California to Greenland.
