Climate change is a global issue that has impacted North Carolina and other parts of the world. With many sources of information comes many misconceptions. These impact our understanding and ability to adapt and mitigate climate issues. Will planting trees solve the problem? If it is really cold, is that climate change? Join us as we discuss climate misconceptions and why our understanding of climate issues can be impacted both in and out of the classroom.<\/p>\n
