The President’s Science Advisor Answers Your Climate Questions
Posted by on February 09, 2015 at 12:06 PM EST
Since last November, Dr. John Holdren -- the President's science
advisor -- has
been encouraging the public to ask him anything about climate change on
social media using the hashtag #AskDrH. In his first set of answers, he
covered a lot of ground -- the connection between climate change and extreme
weather, temperature trends, how we know that climate change is human-cased, and
more.
Today, Dr. H is answering more
of your questions -- this time from students and classrooms across the
country.
As the community leaders, city planners, innovators, and
entrepreneurs of tomorrow, America’s students will be instrumental in efforts to
tackle the climate change challenge. That’s why, this past December, the White
House Office of Science and Technology Policy launched the Climate
Education and Literacy Initiative -- aimed at ensuring a climate-smart
citizenry, and connecting Americans of all ages with the best-available,
science-based information about climate change.
Later today, we’ll be celebrating eight Champions of Change for
Climate Education and Literacy -- local heroes who are doing extraordinary work
on the ground to enhance climate education and literacy in classrooms and
communities across the country.
Check our Dr. H’s answers to
students’ climate questions right here, and tune at 1:00 p.m. ET today to
watch the Champions of Change Event at www.whitehouse.gov/live.
Becky Fried is the Deputy Assistant Director of Strategic Communications
in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
