Cool, Safe Cambridge
Climate change is making our storms bigger, our summers hotter, our winter weather more unpredictable, and our rainfall patterns swing wildly from flash flooding to flash droughts. Over time, we will need to manage increasing challenges such as higher ocean and groundwater levels and more wind, fire, and drought.
Extreme weather is not new. We already know how to deal with blizzards without major loss of life or property damage. Climate change means that we need to learn how similarly manage these new challenges while minimizing harm to people and our surroundings.
