Are New Yorkers worried about flooding? heatwaves? sea level rise? What ARE the potential impacts of global warming on New York City? Are we willing to change our lifestyles to reduce our impact on the environment? Do we support the Mayor’s sustainability plan — PlaNYC 2030?

For this lecture, researchers Shome, Marx, Hammer and Solecki will review the results from the first-ever study of New Yorkers’ opinions about global warming.  They will also discuss whether people’s perceptions match scientific projections for the future.
