Special Earth Day Conversation with Illinois' State Climatologist

Climate change and its social and environmental impacts are significant to central Illinois and beyond.

On this Earth Day, let's hear from Illinois State Climatologist Trent Ford on how the problem is not intractable and there are many conservation- and planning-based solutions we can adopt moving forward.

We'll discuss climate change, its impacts locally to globally, and solutions and roles of governments, corporations, and individuals.
