DAVID GUENETTE DISCUSSES CLIMATE CHANGE
Pittsfield, 6:30pm

At the Berkshire Athanaeum, 1 Wendall Ave. David Guenette, author of the climate fiction series The Steep Climes Quartet, presents a glimpse into Berkshire County’s climate future and what households should think about these dangers and costs… and hope.

What can be done about climate change is the oft-asked question by many increasingly concerned American citizens. The transition away from a fossil fuel-based energy system to a clean energy system is the most fundamental and effective action we can pursue nationally and internationally, but we can expect the massive and well-entrenched fossil fuel industry to strive for current profit levels for as long as possible. Trump’s tariffs and anti-renewable energy policies aren’t a help.
