Know Thy Neighbor Lecture Series

Hotter, Wetter, Weirder: Philadelphia and Climate Change

Join us in welcoming Mike Weilbacher , Executive Director, Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education as our guest speaker

As 2021’s Hurricane Ida showed us, climate change is already happening in Philadelphia as our climate gets hotter, wetter, and decidedly weirder. But what's the evidence for climate change locally? What are the trends in temperature and rainfall? You’ll not only be surprised by the data, but motivated to find solutions. In this must-see lecture, Mike walks you through the science, carefully answering your questions while weaving in politics, pop culture, and even a pop quiz.

Know Thy Neighbor is a continuing series of conversations intended to share our Quaker history and to open discussions exploring civic and cultural engagement issues with the community.
