If the list of names strikes a chord, then you know North Carolina’s recent hurricane history. North Carolina’s hurricane history is established ... and long. But in the past few decades, the cycle of hurricanes has changed, and shows no sign of letting up.
The cycle is changing because our climate is changing.
“Storm Warning” features Dr. Hans Paerl, Kenan Professor of Marine and Environmental Sciences at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill’s Institute of Marine Sciences. He’s spent nearly 50 years researching the effects of human and climatic change of water quality and what that means for estuarine and coastal waters.
In this episode, Dr. Paerl takes us from the big picture of climate change and global warming to its effects on the coming storms and the impacts to water quality.
You can join the fight to keep the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico fishable, swimmable and drinkable for all.
