Presents a Lecture Series
ACID RAIN AND CLIMATE CHANGE:
EFFECTS ON ADIRONDACK ECOSYSTEMS
The burning of fossil fuels affects the global climate by its contribution of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and the deposition of pollutants on the earth and water of the planet. The waterways of the Adirondack Mountains are, in many ways, especially fragile and prone to disruption by this climate change and these pollutants. Come spend an afternoon with a panel of experts and learn of these effects on our waterways and what needs to be done to mediate or reverse them.
