Many of our readers are familiar with the work of Bob Bunting, CEO of the Climate Adaptation Center, who has warned us of the growing impacts of climate change on everything from hurricanes to red tide to wildfires and drought. In his guest commentary today, Bob leads us into a deeper understanding of how climate warming contributed to the highly unseasonal, deadly tornadoes that recently swept through the Midwest.
The Climate Adaptation Center is “an expert resource to inform government, academe, and the private sector so they can create the necessary adaptation strategies and actions to protect our Florida way of life. It provides support for the emergence of the Climate Economy.”
The CAC is currently engaged in fundraising for a matching grant and you can read more about the CAC and how to support it here: https://www.theclimateadaptationcenter.org
