This week our climate story is from Mayor Clyde Rabideau of Saranac Lake. Mayor Rabideau graduated from Clarkson in ’78. In this climate story Mayor Rabideua talks about winters from his time as a Clarkson student, the impact that climate change is having on eco-tourism in Saranac Lake, and their community’s efforts in the Climate Smart Communities program. You can see the video here:
Our hope through this project is to collect and share content that explores the reality of climate change here and now. Rather than talking about global average temperature changes, which can seem abstract and irrelevant, we are more interested in how climate change has affected people’s lives who live here in the North Country. We can see everything changing in front of us. What does it mean for us as a community. If you have a climate story you’d like to share, please reach out to Alex French at afrench@clarkson.edu or Nick LaScala at lascaln@clarkson.edu.
