Author Talk: Courtney Humphries — Climate Change and the Future of Boston
Humphries discusses her new book on what a warming climate means for Boston: several feet of sea level rise this century on higher-emissions paths, tidal and storm flooding across low-lying neighbourhoods, heavier rainfall, and summers with most days above ninety degrees. She sets the city's mitigation and adaptation efforts against four hundred years of filling and building its shoreline.
