Science Center examines ‘Global Warming in Your Backyard’
“Seasons of Change” was developed by the New England Science Center Collaborative and Brown University’s Watson Institute of International Studies and Center for Climate Studies, under a grant from the National Science Foundation. To prepare teachers, parents, and students for visiting the exhibit, a project website gives “background on climate change in New England and opportunities for becoming citizen scientists,” curators said.
“You know that climate change is taking place when you can see it happening in our own backyard,” according to an introduction about the project at seasons. terc.edu/index.html. “More rain, less snow. More severe storms and flooding. More heat waves.
Worse air quality. More severe asthma and allergies. New pests, more poison ivy.”
