The Science is clear: warming is unavoidable, but the degree of warming is still in question. If Keene wants to remain a leader on Climate Change Action, it needs to continue to act. Climate mitigation and adaptation measures enacted now are much cheaper than responding to impacts later. Use the CCP Committee as a resource! Conclusion
