Climate Change Day @ SoFo

Climate Change Day at South Fork Natural History Museum

Rod Richardson joined several other noted experts from the East End of Long Island for SoFo’s 5th Annual Climate Change Day forum. The East End of Long Island is particularly vulnerable to sea level rise, water contamination and storm surge. The local fisherman just experienced a near total die-off from this year’s scallop harvest, where increasing ocean temperatures and excessive fertilizer used on lawns and crops are the initial suspects. Rod spoke of the need to bring about new, business-friendly policies that provide the energy resources residents need while also being good stewards of the environment.
