A Conversation with Dr. Katharine Hayhoe presented by ACFF

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is a climate scientist, she studies this amazing planet we live on, she crunches the data that says it's warming, she helps people prepare for a changing climate and she believes that together we can fix this.

Called “one of the nation’s most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past fifteen years Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it—and she wants to teach you how.

The program includes:

• sneak preview of ACFF 2025 
• a short selected film introduction by Mary Anne Hitt 
• Book signing after the event--Saving Us and All We Can Save--wonderful gifts which can be preorderd here: https://www.fourseasonsbooks.com/hayhoe.html#/
