SUMMARY:Finger Lakes Book Group Meeting - “How to Prepare for Climate Change\,” David Pogue
DESCRIPTION:The Finger Lakes Book Group will meet on Thursday\, February 6\, 2025\, at 7 pm. We will be discussing “How to Prepare for Climate Change: A Practical Guide to Surviving the Chaos” by David Pogue (Simon & Schuster\, 2021).  \n\n\nBook description from Simon & Schuster: \n\n\nYou might not realize it\, but we’re already living through the beginnings of climate chaos. In Arizona\, laborers now start their day at 3 a.m. because it’s too hot to work past noon. Chinese investors are snapping up real estate in Canada. Millennials have evacuation plans. Moguls are building bunkers. Retirees in Miami are moving inland. \nIn How to Prepare for Climate Change\, bestselling self-help author David Pogue offers sensible\, deeply researched advice for how the rest of us should start to ready ourselves for the years ahead. Pogue walks readers through what to grow\, what to eat\, how to build\, how to insure\, where to invest\, how to prepare your children and pets\, and even where to consider relocating when the time comes. (Two areas of the country\, in particular\, have the requisite cool temperatures\, good hospitals\, reliable access to water\, and resilient infrastructure to serve as climate havens in the years ahead.) He also provides wise tips for managing your anxiety\, as well as action plans for riding out every climate catastrophe\, from superstorms and wildfires to ticks and epidemics. \nTimely and enlightening\, How to Prepare for Climate Change is an indispensable guide for anyone who read The Uninhabitable Earth or The Sixth Extinction and wants to know how to make smart choices for the upheaval ahead. \n\n\nMore information about David Pogue can be found on his website. He is a trained Climate Reality Leader. He was featured at a meeting of the Bay Area Local Chapter discussing this book. \n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \n\n\nMeeting ID: 926 2795 7489

SUMMARY:February Joint Chapter Meeting: FLGR and WNY Chapters – Combating Climate Disinformation
DESCRIPTION:Guest Presenters: Tom Coleman and Bruce Mainzer\, Co-Chairs\, Chicago Metro Chapter\, The Climate Reality Project \nSince passage of the IRA Act in 2022\, significant progress has been made to address the climate crisis. However\, fossil fuel interests and climate deniers have intensified their efforts to hinder adoption of effective climate solutions by households and businesses and to delay and derail local legislative efforts in the more progressive states such as New York and California. \nFrom auto manufacturers\, attributing the slowdown in new EV purchases to consumer markets instead of their own delays in introducing lower-cost EVs\, to political leaders avoiding climate initiatives during an election year\, 2024 saw a surge in disinformation on social media and the mainstream news. This has made it more challenging to effectively communicate how the average citizen can reduce their carbon footprint. \nWith the incoming President and Congress\, the current climate crisis has become increasingly urgent with greater challenges expected for 2025. We will summarize the top actions individuals can take to decrease their carbon footprint. Breakout groups will allow us to brainstorm ways to counter the current wave of climate disinformation. \nLearn to equip yourself with the latest information to combat climate denial! \n  \nAbout Our Presenters \nA native of Boston\, Tom Coleman has worked at many organizational levels in manufacturing\, information technology\, and in process improvement disciplines. In 2018\, he retired as chief information officer and now works in the field of environmental\, social\, and governmental education and activism He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration\, is a Certified Business Process Master\, and is Certified as a Change Management Professional. Tom has rooftop solar panels and two electric vehicles. \nWith degrees from Cornell and Northwestern\, Bruce Mainzer has worked in  public transportation sector\, followed by work for several large companies in the consumer travel sector including airlines\, cruise lines\, hotels and resorts. Bruce retired in 2019\, after serving for the last 13 years of his career as a travel marketing and pricing consultant. After owning a convertible foreign sports car\, he is now a big fan of his EV.  He and his wife love to travel\, especially to Paris\, which is his second favorite city after Chicago. \nZoom Link \nMeeting ID: 958 6631 3240Passcode: NYRocks
