Video: David Wolfe on Climate Change and the Future of New York

David Wolfe, chair of the climate change focus group at the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future, talked about vulnerabilities of the New York landscape due to climate change, including increased flooding and pest pressure, as well as strategies for adaptation and mitigation at the September 20, 2011 Inside Cornell session at Cornell’s ILR Conference Center in Midtown Manhattan.

Wolfe is also quoted in the Oct. 7 USA Today (Study: Climate change to impact where wine grapes can grow): “‘The pace of change projected for this century is far beyond what previous generations of farmers have had to face,’ Cornell’s Wolfe says.”
