Recent wildfires in California have devastated countless families and cost billions in state and federal suppression costs and insurance claims.  Climate scientists and fire experts are predicting more of the same in the coming years.

On Earth Day, April 22, 2019,  two outstanding speakers from the fields of climate and economic policy  will be in Fresno discussing the links between climate, California fire risk reduction and protecting our local health and economy.   The date coincides with the 49th annual Earth Day, started by a Democratic Senator and a Republican Congressman in 1970 to mobilize public awareness of air, water and soil pollution.          

This free, non-partisan lecture presents the peer-reviewed science and economics related to climate change and wildfires.  It will also provide information about the ground-breaking bipartisan legislation recently introduced in Congress known as the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (HR763).
